Ugh..help?

I painstakingly agonize over the husbandry. I lose sleep at night because I worry that my husbandry is not up to par. I wake up multiple times per night to check the conditions of the tanks. I'm super anal about the way I care for my snakes and so far it has really paid off for one of them. He shed in one solid piece, he eats every time I offer him food, and he acts like a typical BP. I did buy a live mouse, i cleaned the tank and everything in it so that nothing smelled like the snake's pee or poop, and I am planning on dropping the live mouse in there and watching it so that the snake doesn't get hurt.

Next thing you may want to try since it is a very small animal is to keep her in breeder setup condition since this is how it was kept until very recently and do so until she eats for you a few times consecutively.

I have seen a few times with some of my customers, they receive the snake have it in a small tank and it just does not work, once they set it up in the conditions I keep my hatchlings in , their animals start eating for them and once the animals feeds with consistency they move the animal back in the tank.

If that is the case and it's still a no go when it comes to food try this

6 quarts tub
Aspen bedding to allow the animal to burrow
6 inches plastic flower pot saucer
88 on the warm side

No handling for a week, and a week later live mouse (small adult)

When you offer the food do it in the enclosure drop the prey and move away (remove if un-eaten after 15 min)
