[werled]

After she shed she will eat like a beast again, don't worry :)

TRD is right. It sounds like she's prepping to shed. That can take 7-14 days for most snakes. She should resume eating after she's shed. My snakes are usually extra hungry after shedding.

So offer her again if sheis done shedding

Yes. Snakes often do not take food when they are shedding. In the wild, they are extra vulnerable during shed because of decreased vision. Your snake will likely hide and fast until it sheds its skin.

Speaking of the shed...did you raise the humidity? Are you misting and/or providing sphagnum moss in its hot hide?

Besides getting it to eat, you don't want a bad shed either!
