I myself had one female that went 16 months without eating. In that time period she only lost 240 of her 2800 gms. Her body condition never got to a point where i was worried. If she looks ok I wouldn't worry about it. Second there are some things that you can do to help get her looking to feed. First raise the air temp, 75 is to cool. Give her a basking spot at least 88 (older animals seem to do better for me with a hot spot not too hot). next i would give her a hide spot on each end so that she can choose the right hide without having to be too cold or too hot. and last give her about 2 weeks off between attempts. if she refuses let her be for the next 2 weeks except for cage cleaning and watering. hope that helps, Josh Hutto
