What did you offer the first time? How long has it been since then and have any environmenta conditions changed since then?

if one of my bp's turn down food (which happens fairly often), i usually just let em go another week since i feed every monday. that way, i'm positive that they'll be hungry. if they don't eat after that week, it's pretty safe to say the reason they aren't eating isn't because they aren't hungry(stress).

there should be a few methods to try. you can try feeding outside her home if you don't already. Or in a pillowcase as mentioned in another post. But usually waiting about a week or a little less can work.

1.0 American Pitbull Terrier (Gandhi)

if you are new to ball pythons, the best feeding advice that i (or anyone) can give you is to be patient.

Hmmm thats a little disturbing to me, Plissken hasnt eaten in 14 days, but Ive tried my best to keep everythinh perfect for him,temps ,humidity,lotsa hides, no noise/traffic. If stress is holding him back from eating I dont have any idea what I might do improve his enviorement. Maybe I should get him a therapist. :wink:

I'm pretty sure it was the rat that threw him off feed. Don't worry, Paul, he'll get back to it.

Yeah....snakes definitely eat on their own schedule, and there's no forcing them to abide by our own.
