Help: BRB won't eat

[Meshagirl3]

Also, how old is your snake (if you dont know age then approximate size helps)? If your snake is a juvenile, two months without food is a very bad sign. If adult, not a huge deal, no.

Are you trying to feed her what she ate before the vet trip, or are you trying something different?

Always do force feed as a last option, try anything else before that, the snake can actually die from the shock of it in some cases.

Thank you all for the responses! She is a 2 1/2 yr old BRB (about 4 feet long) in a 40 gallon glass tank with a screen top. I know the screen top is not ideal, so I have a damp towel over it with a heat lamp, large water bowl I clean daily, and a smaller tupperware container filled with moss that I soak every 2-3 days. The rest of the tank is bark substrate that I just switched out with aspen to try something different. Her eyes still look slightly hazy from the respiratory infection but I'm trying to avoid another $200 trip to the vet.

I do all of this to keep humidity as high as I can, but it is difficult in Indiana. I originally think she went to the vet due to the drop in temp and humidity in October.

I have been looking for a better setup but they're hard to find.

Considering its had a respiratory infection during that time then it's not a "bad sign". If anything I'd say its expected really from the stress. Even as a juvenile 2 months is not long at all, as long as the snake isn't losing weight and is in good condition now the RI is gone.
