Haven't been on in awhile, but my snake is still not eating.

Hey, you came here for help. You are obviously concerned for the little one, so why wouldn't you want to do everything you could to make her eat by herself? Maybe I am wrong, but it sounds a little like you are trying to avoid making any changes to your current setup as if they are a nuisance.

A ten gallon wouldn't be a bad idea. If you can, I would try and get some smaller hides too. maybe a small cardboard box (no tape) or a plastic bowl with an entrance cut out. I used to use plastic take out boxes for hides when I was in school and short on cash.

Try a live hopper (one step up from a fuzzy). I've seen babies completely disinterested in food simply because it was too small. If you are going to get a meal in her, better make it count.


There is no set number of days until an animal starves, but a month isn't going to hurt her. I'd say you'd be stepping into the danger zone somewhere after 2 months. I believe these changes will help her become a more confident feeder.


Do you offer food in or out of her enclosure?

No, it's just that I am sad I don't have money to make anyone happy, myself or my snake...

I've tried feeding her in and out.
