It is strange that she is just sitting there not using her hide. I would give her a few days off and leave her alone and see how she does. Are those heat lamps? She probably doesn't need them all she needs is a uth (Under tank heater). Also the cage might be a little big for her right now but it should be okay since she has been living there for a month or so.Originally Posted by BP99
This is the first time she had missed her meal. I left it in a cage for over night , maybe she will eat it. So far, she is just laying, not even in the hide and starring at it for a past 3 hours.
It was just such a drastic change, from happy and curious snake to completely lethargic and not moving ever.
She usually would it on Monday and than digest for 2 days, sitting in the hide, but than I would see her drinking at night or getting from hide to hide, but now nothing. I don't think she is stressed , because I assume , she would want to escape and climb all over , instead of just laying in the hide.
Could it be lack of ventilation and if she finally adjusted why sudden lack of appetite , she acted as weird last week but still ok her food.
She never had a shed with us and we had her for a month.
Please see pictures attached of her and the setup

Don't worry about the food, BPs can fast for several months and maintain their health. I wouldn't even worry about a missed week of feeding, just give her some time and see if she snaps out of it.
