PLEASE HELP Young Ball Python suddenly fasting!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all

In desperate need of some advice and help. i have a young female butter pastel when i bought her (beginning of February) was told she hatched in December, shes on small thawed mice and has shed once since i got her.

Everything's been going great with her until all of a sudden bang shes fasting, when i got her she weighed 126g i weighed her yesterday and still shes sitting at 126g.

Nothing has changed temperature and humidity is still the same which is bang on the mark, i haven't changed feed suppliers or anything. I have tried every trick in the book to try to entice her to feed but shes just not having any of it, Should i be concerned? is there anything you can maybe suggest? below is a list of methods i have tried.

Dry thawing
Wet thawing
wet thawing then using a hairdryer to dry mouse off a little
Braining
leaving the mouse in her vivarium for a 24 hour period with the vivarium darkened
have put the mouse in the vivarium and lightly misted the vivarium
also with the mouse brained.

Any help would be great thanks

1. Please understand that i never intentionally posted the same thing 3 times it certainly wasn't intended nor did i even know that it had been posted three times.

2. I am a complete novice in this hobby and so naturally worried, am I to take it that am the first person to be in the same situation and to worry about it? I guess you have never worried? I will admit the i probably over stressed and in the process stressed my snake i know that now and have learnt from it,

3. If you read the 3 posts properly you will noticed i said everything was going great until all of a sudden she started fasting.You will also notice i said that my temps and humidity was spot and still is,

4. I had included the methods and all information i could give to help others maybe through some light on my situation.

5. It was my understanding that these forums are here for not just general chat and brag but also to help novices and newcomers to the hobby with some help and advice and tips and not to ridicule other members new or veterans, obviously i was wrong.

6. There is so much conflicting information out there on the internet its like a minefield. Hence i turned to this forum clearly I was wrong to turn to this forum. the way you have replied has made me feel totally uncap able and that i should have known the answers to my situation, clearly people are not allowed to be novices as far your concerned.
