    Changes in eating behavior?

    So when I got my little snake she was brilliant about eating 1 fuzzy mouse every four days. But then when I found out those were too small for her I waited a week and tried feeding her a mouse which was properly sized and she struck it, constricted it (despite the fact that it was already dead) and seemed to gnaw on it for a day before abandoning it entirely. So five days later I tried feeding her another fuzzy mouse, same behavior. Five days after that another fuzzy mouse and she's is practically ignoring it. I know BPs can be picky so is this normal behavior or should I be concerned yet? The warm side of her tank is 90, cool side 83 and humidity is at 55 and I haven't held her or had her in a high traffic area this whole time, so it definitely shouldn't be stress.

    Maybe try feeding the properly sized one again and see what happens. You may just have to give her some time.
