Feeding Problem

Hannibal18 Oct 27, 2004 10:48 PM

I have a 3 year old female Cal. King that is very healthy. This last year I have always fed her 3 mice a week, which she eats just fine. About 2 weeks ago she shed and after I gave her a mouse which she downed no problem, after that she wouldn't eat the other two. They died and so I waited a week and tried againg a couple days ago, but she still won't. I am worried because this is very strange for her. ANY advice will help, Thanks!
p.s. her cage is clean and warm so that shouldn't be a factor.

Any changes in the husbandry conditions of the snake? Do you have any other pets?

I had a corn snake when I was a kid who was spooked when the cat was around. It took awhile to pinpoint that it was, indeed the cat that was causing him stress. After we started keeping my door closed he ate like clockwork.

Let us know what's up.
