I know you didn't say my exact words but you did say.....

"Feed her a small rat or two every three days until she put the weight back on. Give her a day to digest and hold her several times a day for about 15 minutes"

This is what a TFH book will tell you to do.....lol

If the Original Poster is not willing to learn from the animal then SURE give the advice here.....Feed it once or twice a week. Hold it for 15 minutes several times a day except on feeding day......Keep it in a tub with a hide on one end and a water bowl on the other.....THAT IS JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP IT ALIVE!

....There is a difference between living and thriving in captivity.......

Even us that go to the extremes with options and choices still can not and do not emulate wild habitat perfectly, but I honestly agree that our snakes are much healthier than those following a TFH guideline to snake keeping 101....
