    Hi, my BP has been off feed since December and it’s starting to be pretty concerning. She was eating frozen thawed rats well and then she went of feed for a few months so I switched her to live. She was eating live for a good while and then in December she went on another food strike. She’s no longer interested in live food so I’ve tried switching her back to F/T but she’s having nothing to do with that. I’ve tried different size rats, different colors, I feed at night and I don’t handle her or take her out of her cage. I’m going to try a F/T mouse tonight, and I got some gerbil litter but I’m not sure I want to try that yet. The last time I weighed her was in December and she was 715 grams. I weighed her today and she was 655. She’s lost almost 10% of her weight.
    Husbandry: Humidity stays on average between 45-60%. Cool end is between 76-80 and warm end is between 85-90. She’s in a standard 20 gallon tank but she’s rather long for her tank, so I’m building a small snake rack so she will soon be moved into a 33.5x17.5x7” tub.
    Any suggestions to get her feeding again?
    you can try ASF, its like candy to a python, just to try and jump start the feeding response, or could also try force feeding to kick start the feeding response.
