Are you sure all your husbandry is correct? (temp, humidity, etc..)

Stress can be a factor also. I would only try to feed her once a week until she comes around. Make sure she has a hide. And let her chill out some. I don't know you, or how you take care of your snakes, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Try not to handle her until she does eat. Feed her in the same cage, try a live mouse (stunned). Good luck.

I am in the process of doing some business with Chris from CMG and all his animals seem fine. I don't think it's the animals at fault, but good luck on feeding!

First of all i have not recieved a single email about this problem. Second if there is an issue with this animal email me ship her back and i will send another one. She ate for me fine. always ate on schedule which was every tuesday like clockwork. i stand behind all my animals and again have never heard about this problem until now. All the albinos from that clutch have been doing great with no problems and i can refer you to my client list of people that i have sold them to. but like i said if there is an issue all you have to do is contact me and i will take care of it but to say i have not replied to your emails is a false statement. i have plenty of ads posted so having my email address shouldnt be an issue but if not here it is. snakerattleroll@cox.net
