My little headache...

[Bogertophis]

The gal that gives voice to my deepest concern. That somewhere along the line being highly inbred to achieve the genetic combination she is broke something in her eating response. I am hoping, again, that it works out, but I am just very worried about her overall.

Time will tell, I will not give up on her and will continue as I have continued. Hoping one day she just decides that food is a good thing and wants to plow rats like they're going out of style.

Yeah, I hope that's not it.

One other thing you could try...is to give properly-dosed Flagyl (metronidazole), as it tends to stimulate the appetite in snakes & seems pretty safe. In fact, it might even
be the right treatment for the source of her not feeling well enough to eat. I have used it before (not in very long time) & had no adverse problems, it did the job, actually.
It's also sold in pet stores OTC for tropical fish (aka "Fish Zole". Quick search > > >

Metronidazole (Flagyl). Used on intestinal flagellates and for amoebiasis at a dose of 100-200 mg/kg PO, repeated in 2 weeks. A dose of 40-50 mg/kg PO should be used in colubrid snakes since there have been some problems with the higher doses in some species. ... Dose is 5-8 mg/kg IM or PO repeated in 2 weeks.
