Spotted Python Won't Eat
My 6-month-old spotted python has now been refusing to eat for nearly a month now, and I am starting to get worried.
She went into shed shortly after she last ate, and had a bit of stuck shed which required a bath. Since then, she has completely refused to eat.
I have switched different food items, from mouse fuzzies to pinkies, and used the trick where you place them in a container with the food and cover it for a time. I have fed her both during the day and at night, trying to figure out what could be off.
I make sure not to attempt too often, I had tried feeding her every five days like I usually would before I did a full week with her tank covered and hardly even going into the room she was in to see if she just needed more time, but she is not interested in the mouse even then.
I'm getting worried since she is only 6 months old and is very small, and she needs food more often than adults, and what little I could find said that snakes that young can go a month before it is a big problem. Should I be worried? I don't think she is too skinny, but she is not interested in what I offer and I'm worried if she keeps this up. Is this something I should be concerned about? What else should I do?
