By the way, now you know the difference between the smell of snake feces and the aroma of a rotting dead mouse; let's hope you don't add the fragrance of snake
regurgitation to your repertoire any time soon. We all learn a lot of things when keeping snakes...now you also know to check for rejected food hiding in the cage.
She does NEED to be eating, but don't offer "too often" (not more often than every 4-5 days), as that only adds stress when she still hasn't eaten. And once she eats,
she needs time to digest, so for pinkies, you still don't want to feed more often than 4-5 days, & larger prey takes even longer to digest. It's so important that you don't
cause her to regurgitate (from eating again too soon, before the first item is digested) once she does finally eat for you. And btw, "think positive"...
By now you're wondering what you've gotten yourself into & is this really fun? Snakes can be hard at first, especially an inexperienced snake for an inexperienced owner.
It does get easier, & we all had to learn things "the hard way". Especially those of us that have been doing this since before there was an internet for asking questions.
