I have a 4 year old 4.5 ft rtb that i got a week ago. the guy i got it from said that she eats a live rat every two weeks and that she'd be ready to eat as soon as i took her home. i have tried numerous times in the past week to try to get her to eat. i tried the feed box the guy gave me, i tried feeding her in her original tank, and i also tried a brand new box that had rat scent in it. no luck.

i am about to move the snake into a larger wooden enclosure. i don't really know where to go from here. should i just wait it out until she gets used to her new care or keep trying?

help!
