I understand that some snakes go off food for a while, but I do want her to get her weight up some and build healthy habits so she can breed next season. I've thought about finding a tighter container just for feeding. Any thoughts?
    15 qts is tiny. Have you considered trying something larger with a hide so that she can be as snug as she wants but still have some room to uncoil and move? 15 qts is not really small enough to be a cozy hide and not large enough to be considered an adequately sized enclosure.

    Ball pythons go off food sometimes. It's not a big deal, you just have to put up with it. She'll be ready to breed when she's ready.
