Re: Not eating..
Well. Attempting a feed tonight, I have a very small fuzzy I got a while ago, it's basically a large pinky. See how this goes! Hopefully she decides to eat!

Re: Not eating..
Put her and the mouse in a small sterilite or Rubbermaid tube covered with a towel or dark cloth and set this in side the enclosure over night. Make sure you heat the mouse up well.
With has worked for me many times.

Re: Not eating..
Do I need to poke a hole in the tub MBK? Or will she have enough air overnight?

Congrats on getting Layla to eat kwhit. I hope it's all smooth sailing going forward. It's a great feeling when your snakes are eating and growing well. Keep up the good work!

Im no pro by any means but ive never had a snake refuse a meal when i was consistant with their feeding schedule (i feed mine every monday). Also, you can take them out and put him in a smaller enclousure (i use a cardboard box) along with its food and give it about 45 min. U can try squeezing the mouse (if feeding him mice) until some blood comes out and that can better stimulate his feeding response. Also, fom what ive read that enclosure may be too big for ur little guy. He maybe a lil stressed. I would put him in a small tub or box and cover it with th mouse. As i mentioned before im no po but thats my .02c. Good luck
