Against better judgment I recently bought a Ball Python at a pet store. She looks to be close to a year old, but refuses to eat anything. The pet store rep didn't know when they last ate and was unsure when they were even brought there (I had browsed about a week before my purchase). It's now been 3 weeks and she refuses to eat. I've offered frozen pinkies, live pinkies, & live fuzzies but she just shies away and ignores the food. She has been very nervous and was initially brought in with a shipment of ~60. She was housed with about 15 others in a small 10 gal enclosure.
I tried to feed her the first time because she was very then around the upper torso. I have since tried the various different feeder types, and kept up to make sure her humidity and temperature are okay. She has started to come out a little more since I've introduced another male ball about her size to the terranium, but she still won't eat and her scales are starting to become loose. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.
