Removing uneaten food - how long?

I hope your girl gets on track soon. Keep us posted.

Thank you. So she's not scheduled to eat again for two weeks. You think it will be ok to leave it until then?

She'll be fine for another 2 weeks mate, just make sure not to handle her and have as little contact with her as you can. I would just do quick water changes and spot clean if she poo,s or pee,s. As Ziggy said she'll be fine and 4 weeks of not eat is nothing to a snake. We have a ball/royal python who once didn't eat for around 5 months
