Hi guys.

Ive kept hots for quite some time.
Can anyone with successful Atheris Ceratophora experience help out please?
Problem is that she(adult female)isnt eating.Ive read a lot of stuff on them but Im not getting a remedy.
Her wooden cage with good ventilation is at 22 degr C and theres a hot spot of 26 degr C which she visits regularly.

I spray her cage twice a day to make sure the humidity is right.
Ive tried tease feeding her with pinks,scented pinks with tadpoles,and Ive offered her tadpoles too.(forceps)
Ive had her for almost a month now.
No luck still.
She doesnt look in bad shape either,but what worries me is that shes not cocky.
What might be the reason for her not eating?

PS:There is a slim chance that she might be gravid,but I doubt it.
What is the gestation period for A.ceratophora?
Many thanks
