    Feeding issues

    Hey,

    so my snake has stopped eating and it has been three weeks. I feed her frozen rats and the preparation has remained the same each time. she was doing very well and then this happened again. Her temps are 88-90 hot side and 77-80 cold side. I have also noticed she has been spending all her time on the cold side; literally she hasn't gone to the hot side for all this time. She has gone from 1286 (weighed the day after feeding and the rat was 105g), so technically 1181g to 1166g (now). I am worried but she won't eat and i also noticed she moves funny. this happened once before but it was nothing but now its back so I'm not sure. rather then slither she shimmies by lifting parts of her body up and back and then continues to move that sort of way rather then just slither. I'm getting worried about her. I don't want to force her to eat cause in the summer she went a month and 2 weeks and finally got back onto her scheduled eatings. What i was thinking of doing was waiting a week and trying the frozen again and otherwise if that doesn't work, ill get her a live rat. I wanted t hear any suggestions and am open to ideas. I know they are finicky eaters so I'm border-lined concerned.
