I feed her in her tank where she is comfy. Lately I have been holding the mouse near the top of her tank so that she will get interested and come out of her hide, I guess kinda prescenting her tank. I would guess that if your girl is 3 ft long that she is on rats and not mice??? You may try feeding her a few large mice just to try to get her to eat something, or try a smaller rat. Maybe the prey item is too big??? I am by no means an experienced BP mommy, just trying to maybe throw a few ideas out there. Also, do you handle her alot and especially on the day that you are going to feed her?? I've read in other threads that stress can be a big factor in a BP not eating. Just make sure that your husbandry is all correct, temps. etc. I was looking at some of your other threads (to try to get some back ground info on your snake) and saw a pic of your setup. Is it still set up that way? You could also try covering up 3 sides of the tank to make her a little less exposed feeling. If she is feeling all comfy then she may decide to finally eat.
im feeding her what the pet store was feeding her
my temps are around 80 cool and 89-92 basking and humidity is at around 56%
my setup is a lil different
as for my hides i put alot of aspen inside to have a snugg fit
i got rid of mites(havnt seen any more)
when i feed i sit near her bc she can get out(i might need to try to feed her in a tub.... not a shoebox)
i have aspen as substrate so i dont feed her in her cage
ima wait till monday to try and feed her again and try to get my corn too(its settling in)
