Hi my snake is 4 months and bit old up-till 27 sept she was feeding every 4 days, she cut back when she shed and ate the day she shed and twice after that on her regular feed day. This was great I had a python with an appetite ! She now has refused food for over 2 weeks, she doesn't seem bothered and is active but just wants to get out of her cage and explore (supervised) at night ( I don't sleep much ). She has only lost 3grams in the 2 weeks, her last recorded weight was 140grams 3weeks ago. Question : - When should I try her with food and how often? At what kind of weight loss do I start getting stressed? She eats F/T and always has, although I have never had her strike at the food she just grabs it and then constricts it and down it goes.



I am slightly stressed about this as my first snake died from not eating ( i know that that wasn't my fault and that she was I'll before i got her ). Any and all suggestions appreciated, even if its to tell me to take chill pill.



Thanks
