I would give her a two week rest before offering food again ... keep an eye on her and make sure she's active at night before even thinking about feeding ... then offer a smaller sized prey item at dusk (for a 1500 ish gram girl with a feeding problem, I would try either a big chub or a very small weaner).Originally Posted by anendeloflorien
Absolutely!I just want to do whats right for my animals.
Do you think that I should try feeding again next week or give her some more time to just relax? Thanks Adam! It's great to hear the voice of experience
BTW I'm proud to share that name with you lol
Also, sometimes mice do a really good job of getting a ball python back into a regular feeding routine ... At the end of breeding season, many of my adult males need a mouse or two before they'll even think about taking a rat again.
Don't stress and don't worry about doing right by your snake ... you're here, you're asking questions, and you're listening to all of the great advice that everyone is sharing ... you're doing great!
If you're still worried about it after a month or so, let me know and I'd be happy to help however I can.
