A few questions:

1. How old is your BP and how much does she weigh?

2. Do you know what she was eating before you got her and how often?

3. It sounds like you are feeding F/T and that's good. Are you feeding an appropriate sized prey item (feel free to ask or I can post a feeding chart if you are not sure) and are you defrosting it and offering it correctly (I can post a step by step list of how to properly defrost F/T prey and how to offer as well)?

4. How often are you offering food? When you say she has not interest, has she refused a meal, or more than one?

5. What size tank and what is the temp range (hot side, ambient, cool side) and what is humidity?

6. Are there at least two identical hides? At least one on the hot side and one on the cool side?
I weighed her last week and she was 77g. She was born in July according to the breeder I got her from.

I don’t know what they were feeding her but I assume it was F/T.

Her first feeding was a hopper mouse which she ate but not aggressively. I tried another hopper mouse for her second feeding which she refused. Last night I tried an adult mouse which she refused as well. Her first feeding she didn’t take the mouse from me. She waited until I sat the mouse down then she slowly picked it up and ate it. She has refused about three feedings now. I’ve presented the prey in every way I can think of.

The tank is a 40 gallon. Eco Earth substrate, three hides. Humidity stays between 50-60. Cool side is 77, ambient fluctuates around 85, hot side stays close to 90.

My male Axanthic is in the enclosure with her and he eats great. They are the same age. I’ve tried feeding her in the enclosure and in a tub.
