In my experience seperate feeding tanks do nothing but add another realm of failure. What I mean is snakes by nature do not like to be picked up by 6 ft tall hairless apes and by moving them from their home to feed them stresses some animals and even some to the point where they will not eat. Like the other poster stated try feeding a small live hopper mouse after the snake sheds, this is usually all it takes to get them started. I am not a fan of feeding frozen just because I have a large collection but for the small hobbyist it is a convienence but the snake must be estblished before trying to get them to switch. After your snake feeds several times on live hoppers then try to feed her a frozen hopper but make sure the mouse is thawed and warmed completely, another reason she/he may not be eating for you. Hope this helps to get your new member of the family eating.



oh I forgot, I didn't notice, if there is no hide spot, make sure there is one in the cage for her.
