My anerexic snake recovery story...

[bmwood]

Sorry your poor girl has had a rough go of it.

It's interesting to hear she was diagnosed as anorexic - is that something the vet told you?

Usually when they go off food it can be related directly to one of a handful of "typical" reasons:

1.) A husbandry issue. Temps and/or humidity not right, habitat feeling too open, not enough or the wrong kinds of hides.
2.) A change in diet. They can go off food if you're offering food other than what they're used to. If the breeder (or pet store) had them on live, and you've only offered frozen, they may reject for quite some time.
3.) Stress. Too much handling too soon can cause them to go off food. Soaking alone can be very stressful.
4.) Illness.

You may have all of these nailed down, but 9 times out of 10 a BP will go off food for these reasons over any other.

We have come to the conclusion that she was fed live since being hatched and that's why nothing we did with the F/T worked, soon as we put in love, she snagged it within seconds. So I'm believing it is the #2 thing you listed, change in diet, I'm glad I figured it out before it was too late
