Hello everyone.
I just got a ball python almost four weeks ago, who is about 3 months old. She has a 40 gallon tank, I use paper as her substrate, she has two dark hiding spaces, and plenty of places to climb on. I change her water every other day, and clean her cage 1/month. In the store we bought her from, she was supposedly eating frozen fuzzies, but we have offered her thawed fuzzies four times already. We always attempted to feed her after 9:00 p.m., and we tried to move her to a separate container with a towel on top, we tried feeding her in her cage when she was awake, and we tried putting her and the mouse in a paper bag over her heat source, but she always seems uninterested. She usually sniffs around the mouse, and she'll even touch it, but then she just slithers away. Her temperature stays between 95 and 76ish, (warm and cool ends), and her humidity is around 50-60. I'm worried she hasn't eated in over a month. I really don't want to feed her live. Any suggestions?
The animal is 3 months, and probably has only had 5 meals total you have to do what you need to do and it start by getting everything right, so long the husbandry and the food offer are not adequate the animal will not eat, and you are entering a viscous circle.
