I have about about a four month old bay western hog nose snake. I got her from a breeder from my local reptile show. When i brought her home she ate fine on her own on a towl on my bed, the same as my two corn snakes do. She has eaten well up till about two and a half weeks ago. She wouldn't eat on my bed so i put it in her cage and she ate fine and that is how she ate till two and a half weeks ago. i still put a mouse in her cage every day, but today she pushed it from under her log( where i put her mouse) to the back of her cage. she seems fine, she does get up and move around, i just dont know if there is another way to get these guys to eat or if i should take her to the vet to see if there is something medically wrong with her. she is the cutest little thing ever and i dont want to have to sit by and watch her starve. please help!

Standard protocol here: Post your temps hot side, cold side, take pictures of your setup, whats your humidity like, substrate, etc. And go from there...again, pictures are very helpful

best of luck

Stop trying to feed her every day, you are stressing her out. Just because a snake goes off feed for a while does not mean it needs a vet visit. Many times it's a husbandry issue.
