I aquired her from a petstore, she was my first snake, in August of 05. She was a tiny little thing then, probably a little older than a hatchling. So she went off feed in mid-october where she would have been a year and two months old. She was 850g full last time she ate, it was a good weight for her. She had always been a little finicky with eating, she was constantly going off feed and then going through times where she could eat me out of house and home. That was back when she was in a glass viv, since Oct of 06 they've all been in tubs, which helped all my husbandry reqs. I forgot to mention she did receive a clean bill of health from the vet. Now that I think of it she was 121 grams when I got her.

I offered her a live mouse tonight and she seemed very interested and then she just slid away into the other hide and curled up.

Not sure on your sitiation, but sometimes it can be a cage size issue.... and just what they do or don't feel secure in.

Hope she gets going again for you soon!
My boaphile rack should be here within the next week.

Its coming with 5 of the larger tubs. But I think I might go pick up 2 sweater boxes and see how she does in that.

Thanks for the comments
