She won't take rats or mice. I'm keeping her in a sterilite container thats the long one that goes under the bed, 2 clay flower pot bottom hides, newspaper as bedding, acurite digital thermometer, temps are normal, humidity normal. This has been going on for several months, I didn't think anything of it because I know this is normal for ball pythons to do this. But she is very skinny now and still won't eat, live or dead. I was wondering if I took her to the vet, what treatment could they possibly do? She will not eat. It would have to be in injection if she has parasites? I don't want to waste my money if theres nothing they can do. Should I just wait until next year? I guess she'll start eating then. I tried dangling the mouse/rat, tried leaving it in her enclosure overnight, tried rubbing the mouse on the rat, all that stuff. What kind of tests/treatment can I expect from the vet and how much money?
