She has zero interest in food. She won't even poke her head out of her dome when she smells the feeder. If I take the dome away, she'll walk over the feeder like it's lettuce.
It's matting season and winter, so hopefully spring will bring back her appetite. It amazes me how these creatures can go so long without eating. Dino DNA!

Re: Hasn't eaten
Sooooo...I meant to come on last night and tell my story but I got busy and then forgot. I was defrosting a crawler for my little one Luna. When it was done and warmed she was nowhere to be found. Usually she's waiting and antsy. I was like oh no you don't. So I pulled out the blow dryer. First time ever. I've never seen her move that fast lol. I kind of blew it so some of the aroma would go into her terrarium. I didn't even have it all the way down before she grabbed it. It was so quick it startled me. Then my hubby says (from the next room!) come look at Slitherz. I walked over and he was going nuts. I wasn't planning to try but it was a couple weeks so I thought ok couldn't hurt. Pulled out a feeder for him. Put it out on top of his place. A couple hours later I took it and placed it under the che. Did what I normally do. When it was done I offered it. He was so eager but nothing. After a couple minutes I brought the blow dryer in and did the same thing I did for Luna and he was going nuts. When I offered this time he snatched it just like Luna. I kid you not...I was so excited I could barley contain myself.
So, thank you Enigma. I'm a happy lady!

Re:
My 700g Male Super Pastel Banana went off food for 3 months although husbandry was perfect and my other female in the same room continued to eat like a champ. As you described, he comes out, slithers close to it and then swipes left. Someone recommended I try feeding him an adult mouse because a different scent might do it and it certainly did. Because it was tiny, I tried feeding him a mouse-scented Rat weanling and he took it after some drama. Right after he swallowed the Rat, I offered him the Mouse and he ripped it out of the tongs. Might work for you.
