Ok the snake was purchased and given a week to settle in and then an attempt to feed was made....good...now the snake didn't eat so there were at least 10 more attempts made to feed the snake in a three week period? I seem to be the only one that thinks so but to me that is just too many attempts in that time frame. Add that stress to the possibility of internal parasites or some other internal problems and it's not very promising.

You need to try a vet as soon as possible and then work from there.

You may get to the point where "assist" feeding is in order. If so, take a pinkie head and work it into her mouth and down her throat. If she holds it down it's a promising sign. Hopefully if it gets to this point she won't be too weak to handle it. Each time you are ready to feed her, give her a chance to eat on her own and if she refuses give her another pinkie head. Do this until she is ready to eat on her own. This can take a while. Sometimes even long enough to get to whole day-olds before she will feed on her own.
