Feeding problems?

IMO, if the snake is really that starved, and won't eat, it is time to feed live. This is how they are programmed to eat for millions of years. The snake could starve, just buy a live appropriate sized rodent, (after waiting a few days as the others have said). and throw it in there. Nature will take its course. I find feeding live increases their response 100fold. (that being said I still feed thawed, purely too save money, since I buy in bulk. If I was a large breeder, I would breed my own rodents and feed live all the time.)

She was eating live mice as I was told by the breeder (they didnt indicate the size, I don't know why I didnt ask ). I really wanted to get her on f/t though, and she took the offer no problem. She is now about 88g, she's growing good She was around 7-8 months as I was told. (Sorry I rounded to a year. But a female still shouldn't be that small!)

ok, I was under the impression that she was emaciated and underweight. If she is decently growing and not emaciated, Nevermind then.

Indeed in a few weeks to put on 20+ grams of weight is impressive.
