Samantha's not eating.

My brother has a young Dumeril's boa named Samantha. Long story short, the last two weeks she hasn't eaten and I'm worrying about her. She's living in a 10 gallon setup with a heat pad, about 3/4" of aspen snake bedding, a water bowl-in other words, a fairly basic snake setup. But the weird thing is that she'll constrict the mouse, but then she'll just leave it there without eating it. I tried putting a towel over the front of the tank in the hopes that she was just shy, but she still wouldn't eat. Can someone help me out here?

Re: Samantha's not eating.

What are your temps (hot and cool) and whats the humidity level in the tank? Also, how are you measuring them? A 10gal tank is not suitable for even a young dumerils. Very difficult to get a good temp gradient. Can you post pics of the set up and snake?

Holy crap, I'm sorry. I'm going to go get a new enclosure ASAP and I'll also get some pictures when I get home from school.
