I bought an adult female BP at a reptile show about a month ago. She has not eaten since I got her, although she does seem hungry. The problem is, when I give her a rat to eat, she will strike at it, sometimes even coil around it, but always let go of it after a few seconds. It's almost as if she is in pain when biting down on the rat. I am worried that she may have a jaw injury. She does have a scar at the top of her head. Her jaw looks fine, but I'm worried that there might be some internal damage.

Has anybody else experienced this behavior, and if so, how did you remedy the situation? Thanks.
