316 grams then I fed her and about 3 days later she went blue. Unfortunately I haven't been able to fully recognize how dull her skin gets early in a shed cycle or I would have waited to feed her.

Anyway, after her shed I tried to feed her and she wouldn't eat. At that time she was at 325g and hasn't eaten for 3 weeks. As of yesterday she was still at 325g so she hasn't lost any weight.

I've read this can happen and it's not a problem if there's not much weight loss.

I'm just beginning to have a hard time with this and if it's no problem am looking for some reassurance please!!!

Should I be worried yet?

Thanks!!

If your snake doesn't seem sick, and isn't losing weight then I'm pretty sure you can say that it is fine. As soon as she starts losing weight I'd get her checked out(thats if she still isn't eating). Don't worry, she may just have her temps a little lower and she decided to stop. Thats what my tiny guy is doing right now and he's fine.

gained 3 grams! It's a labtec scale that's supposed to be accurate to the gram so does that make sense?
