Hey guys thanks for the input,

I'm not sure what her problem is shes eaten rats all her life, infact she would eat 2 sometimes 3 jumbo rats before she started this silly stuff. She ate rat pups from the time i got her, them we moved up in size. I would hate to offer up a mouse, cause 2 other balls i have were given mice from the time they were hatched and i could never get them to eat rats. they still don't and thier size shows it too. I really don't know what to do, this is my favorite snake, has never bitten me or even tried. and as far as stressing her out trying to feed her, i don't think thats the problem. because as i stated earlier she used to eat every time i'd offer up food and want more. She laid 7 eggs not this past feb. but the one before that and has not eaten since the male was put in with her in.
Do ya think snakes get afeeling of loss ? after all i did remove the eggs and hatch them in an incubator got 6 out of the 7 eggs, wonderful critters they are now getting some real size to them. I dont know if she don't eat soon i'm gonna force feed her. Ok i'll try a mouse first, man i really hate to do that. but giving her mice is better than her dying.

thanks levi
