New BP, going on 4 weeks without eating.

[CobraCatcher]

First off a baby that small shouldn't fast. First a pinky mouse or rat is way too small for her. When I got Dottie, she was about 90g and I was feeding her fuzzy rats or hopper mice. That could possibly be why she is not eating, its just too small.

I'll give this a shot, it just seems that they would be too large for her following the '3/4 of the largest part of the snakes body' guideline.

Second you said heat lamp side and UTH side, those should be on the same side and it should be 88-90F on the hot side. Cool side can dip down to high 70s but I personally try to keep cool side ambient around 80F.

This is the first I've heard of the lamp and UTH on the same side. I set both of our tanks up according to this Sticky:

Due to the access lid, we can't place the lamp in the center like the link shows. We have it off center towards the 'cool' side of the top.
I will try to increase the temp a bit more for the hot side by moving the lamp to the center.

As for being concerned, is she looking skinny? Has she gone poop? Pee? Drinking water? 5 gram loss can come from any of that. But as for a little 106g baby not eating a month, I would definitely work on what I listed and then possibly get ready to assist feed if nothing for another 2-4 weeks especially if she starts looking skinny.

We haven't seen any poop, and I'll have to look around a bit harder for any 'pee'. Not sure on her drinking, it seems she only comes out at night when we're in bed. We do have to add water to the bowl occasionally, but I think that's more due to evaporation.

Is there a 'safe' rate of weight loss that we should look for?

Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated.
