It's been about two months since my female Nicaraguan has taken any food. I've been trying every 7 to 10 days, I've wasted a few rats, and a couple of my other snakes have gotten extra meals. I've moved her to a quiet part of the house away from all of my other snakes. I have left her alone aside from misting and water changes. Today was about 12 days since the last time I tried to feed her. I took out the rat and thawed. Got it nice and warm, waved it around the inside of her cage and laid it on top of her large hide. I then left the room for about a half an hour and when I came back she was eating. What a relief. I was concerned, but not overly so. I knew she would eat when she was ready, but every time she refused was just such a let down. it is so gratifying to see her finally enjoying a meal.
