    Re: Young ball python will not eat anything I offer! Help!

    She is in a 20 gallon tank, with coconut substrate. She has a water bowl, and 2 hides. She has things to climb on as well. Her temperaturer ranges from 83-90. I have and under tank heating pad, as well as a daytime light/heat source and a nighttime one. I spray her tank with water and a humidifying spray every day, multiple times.

    I do not know what she was eating before I got her. I bought her at Petco and I could not obtain that information. If I could I would.
    I'm only tube feeding her because the vet has instructed me to do so, she had been losing lots of weight. I took her to the vet to make sure nothing was wrong with her. She is very small and thin, I don't want it to continue. I know snakes have gone months without eating, but when she is losing lots of weight and getting snaller, I'm obviously going to get worried. Also, I killed the mouse because everywhere I went, eveyone said not to feed live because it could hurt your snake. I didn't want to risk that. I understand they eat live, but she is so small that I didn't want her to possibly get hurt.
    Also, people said that they have fed their snakes pre killed mice.

    I'm asking for help, not to be yelled at.
