Right, nothing has changed in Paddy's viv at all, she hasnt ate for me since August and it's really upsetting me, is she trying to starve herself to death? Any advice please.

Is she a definite she?

What have you tried?

Has she lost any weight?

No, I doubt she is trying to starve herself to death but it can feel like it to us

Not lost any weight by the looks of it no, definate Female, has been popped and Probed, she's only a yearling, surely hormones can't kick in yet? She was on Fluffs but have been trying: Fluffs and Pinks, Pinks scented with Chicken, nothing is working, anyone?

How often are you trying to feed, and is she housed with any other snakes?

MadMike · #5 (**permalink**) 10-10-2008, 10:06 PM

Housed on her own, been trying once a week

Are you weighing her once a week before you feed? If not, I'd start now. If she's not losing weight, don't worry so much.
