BP not eating after molt.
My BP is about a year old and last shed was three weeks ago. Before this shed she was just fine, very strong feeding responce, never any difficulties with her in any way.
The first time I fed her, she didnt look directly at the prey, and almost seemed a little blind. She striked at the prey twice but never took hold. The following morning I pulled her from the enclosure and looked for eye caps. I couldnt see anything, so I bumped up the humidity in the hopes it would help loosen the eye caps if they were still attatched.
I fed her the next day and fairly quickly she took the prey item.
I tried feeding her again two nights ago. She seemed slightly interested in the rat, she wasnt looking directly at it, but she started smelling around and even went into a strike pose. She striked at it, and let it go. Didnt pull it from the tongs. From there, I kept dangling the rat, and eventually she just balled up so we put her back.
Im really stumped on this as Ive never had a single problem with feeding any of my snakes before this last shed, and I havnt changed how I do things.
