as far as her belly goes.. its completely healed since she shed.. and she may be stressed since i checked her belly once a day.. i also put antibiotic on the spots as i was told to do. i also checked her box once every couple days while she was waiting to shed.. so .. that may be it.. she could just be stressed...

the guy that sold me the snake said she had been in captivity for around 2 years. and its someone i see on a fairly regular basis, i dont think hed lie.. but either way.. i guess well find out..

o and im trying to feed her a medium rat, well the mediums my pet store sells...

so i should give her a solid week and not touch her, open her tub, or anything unless i need to.. and then try a small rat??

what if i need to straighten out her bedding.. or something of that natrue... she has this nasty habit of pushing her hide over her water and then setting behind it...



thanks again..

Josh,i thank you for answering my additional questions.I was just trying to help you figure out how to get her to eat,when i noticed the days left alone to settle in were differant.Thats great her belly is better now i am sure your giving the antibiotics and keeping her dry were the reasons it has cleared up.Now the part of not disturbing her for a full week i would just spot clean any messes and clean water daily.Is it possible to use a heavier hide or place something on it so the little bugger will not push it over the water lol? Maybe she does not like the color,you know how females are .
