OK. I have written 3 different boards about this and I haven't had any success with the advice. I have a baby albino burmese python I acquired two months ago. She has not eaten on her own since I got her. She had mites (which I got rid of) and I took her to the vet to have her de-wormed and she got a clean bill of health. She still does not eat. I have tried everything. The temps and humidity are perfect and she is on a 12/12 day night cycle, so it isn't environmental. She doesn't even seem stressed out; she is fine when i take her out and she explores her cage vs. hiding all the time. I have two hides in the cage as well, so again, it is NOT environmental. I have NEVER seen a burmese not eat and I am very worried. She is INCREDIBLY skinny; can't even shed properly because she is too skinny. I have force fed her twice, but I prefer not to do that. I have offered all different sizes of food all the way down to pinkie mice. I have tried live and prekilled. I have wasted SOOOOO many rodents trying to feed this snake. She isn't even interested. She doesn't get the feeding response at all. What in the HELL is the problem?? Please, somebody PLEASE help me!

Thanks
Hugo
