Re: rat snake problem

awesome! Now definitely let her feel safe and leave her alone for a week or so. Especially after a feed/first feed, the snake is going to want to know it has a safe place to digest

Re: rat snake problem

How does she hate your BP? They shouldn't be near each other as your rat snake should still be in quarantine at the moment

How does she know about your BP? They should not see each other, or even be in the same room now. They should NEVER interact with each other. That stress could be whats making him not want to eat.

Re: rat snake problem

Their cages next to to each other, she sees the ball move and she starts striking, but for some reason she won't strike at anything else now.

Re: rat snake problem

Just put a piece of cardboard Between them so they cant see each other, pretty pointless moving them apart for quarantine reasons now they have already been so close.

I think you need to get her to a vet, did she eat? If you place her upside down can she right herself?
