Here is my last post on the topic of my bairdi not eating.
http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1171605,1171605

I tried all of the suggestions besides moving into a 10 gallon. I have filled her old one already(can't have an empty cage...). Do you think this will really make a difference?

I tried the fresh killed over night in tupperware and then also tried it outside her hide in the cage overnight. After that I tried live, and the hopper walked all over her, literally.

So what should I try next? I don't breed so I don't brumate, and don't know that I have the ability to do so in my current apartment.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Talk to your vet and ask him about using Metronidazole (Flagyl) as an appetite stimulant. Jerry Walls reports that it works in one of his books.

If lead paint is so deadly why do they make it so delicious?
