Will NOT eat
Hello! So I bought my ball python from a very amazing breeder at a repticon. She has no mites, her gums look great, etc. She drinks water, but she won't eat ANYTHING.
When I got her the only problem she had was that her sex had been checked a lot (so she was red and sore in that specific spot) and the breeder told me I was the first person to ever actually hold her, which I was okay with because she was immediately "the one" for me.
I know snakes do not eat for long periods of time BUT she has not eaten for 4 and a half months and how she responds to food is weird. The breeder told me that she eats frozen mice, which I knew I was going to change. I've given her frozen mice, rats, live mice, rats, different colors, different sizes, I have killed a live one for her, and I have made a rat and mouse bleed so that she would smell the scent strongly. Shes terrified of the mice and rats too, she will smell them and then slide away trying to get out of the feeder tank.
I have also tried feeding her in her home, and I am desperate. She looks SO healthy, her body is the same size in every section so I don't think anything is stuck. I am so worried. Please help.
