Baby Python won't eat. Help!

[tttaylorrr]

She is currently in a 15gallon terrianium & we are using day/night heat lamps. She also has a heating mat on her warm side. Not sure on weight. We have left her alone for about a week now trying to ensure she isn't stressed when we try to feed.

Appreciate the advice, I'll try to get bigger prey. Is it recommended to leave the prey in her terrianium overnight in case they get stressed with us feeding? Right now we try to move the prey around to entice.

i noticed you do not mention how your heat lamps and heat mat (UTH) are regulated. ALL heat sources MUST be regulated. this is non-negotiable. for the UTH you need to control it with a thermostat like this one; this protects the snake from being burned as well as ensuring the UTH does not get so hot that it starts a fire. for the lamps, you can get away with using a rheostat/lamp dimmer but a thermostat will always be the superior choice.

weight is the single best indicator of overall health in a snake. i'd recommend getting a digital kitchen scale so you can track weight. i use this one.

also, do you feed live or f/t? and if f/t then yes i'd leave the feeder in the enclosure overnight if it is not taken right away. my oldest male doesn't even strike the prey (f/t) anymore so i always have to leave it and check back to make sure it's gone.
