ATB not eating.

It is winter. Winter air temps can drop the ambient cage temps down and trigger the snake to stop eating. That would be my guess. As an adult ATBs can go off feed for a month or more each winter.

ah ok thats good to know. Ive covered her cage with a shirt so she doesnt see me when i walk by. You think i should try feeding again?

I would temp gun the cage and see where the temps are at. You may need to step up the temps depending on how you are heating. Feeding does not need to be pushed if it is an established animal. I would give it some peace and quiet and leave it alone for a week before attempting to feed again. There is no rush.
