Okay so here is some background:
Her warm side is 31 Degrees, cool side is 28 degrees. She has 2 hides, and is currently at 68% humidity with no shedding issues what so ever.
I am a breeder and have her setup in a rack on cocohusk, every single last one of my snakes has taken to food eventually (with a variety of methods tried, i have a 100% success rate until this little girl).
The reason I chose to assist feed (I was gentle), is that since her birth weight she has not increased much and she is starting to look malnourished, I have tried mice, rats, F/T, live, I handled her in the beginning as I have found that (personally) human interaction gets them used to feeding with me around (i.e the big scary human thing in the room won't hurt me so I can relax and have my noms).
I have since stopped handling, she doesn't appear stressed at all, she was bought locally with no feeding card, however she was bought from a very high-end breeder and I guess the reason I am stressing so much is that she is by far the most expensive morph I have in my collection, I know money shouldn't matter but it subconsciously adds extra stress, whether I focus on the topic or not.
I have tongs and my care is immaculate, I clean and disinfect my reptile room daily - I replace water daily and spot clean twice a day if needed.
I am confident in my abilities but yet no matter what I do this girl just won't eat and I don't want her to pass away, hence the reason I offered assistance.
She has taken food once or twice before, but the methods were different both times so I couldn't draw any conclusion from this.
