here's the gal that got us introduced to snakes. after my wife insisted we were getting anything at the white plains show, she shows me this girl and said she had to have her.
we havent gotten her to eat yet even though the breeder said she was readily eating f/t fuzzies but our third try will be tomorrow. we're gonna take her out of her enclosure and isolate her w/ the fuzzy for a few hours. any other suggestions? and its nothing to worry about yet, right?

One thing you could try would be to leave her alone for a couple weeks... no handling or anything, just so she settles in nicely, after that then try feeding her, it's a great looking snake you have there, I use to have some before to... here's a pic... good luck!

Lovely new snake! I agree with Joe - leaving her alone with no handling for a week at least before offering food would be a good idea - give her a chance to settle in to her new environment. She is a big one and I am sure she can go for weeks without feeding with no problems.

great head shot of that one Joe!
