My friend has a small (less than a foot) female BP at her store. It is going on two months now that this snake has not fed. She is in a good enclosure; rubbermaid container, hot and cool hides, heatpad, temps are right, but the snake just ignores all types of prey. Mice, fresh killed, thawed, even live. Also tried a gerbil, and even a hamser, but to no avail.
I read in a previous post about feeding a liquid diet via syringe.
It seems like she shies away from the prey item, as though afraid of it. I strongly suspect that this snake was bitten by a mouse, since she had been fed live mice without me being around, previously. I fear for her because she is looking rather thin, and also at such a young, formative age.
Help!
