Well jake still hasnt eaten!
The people in the rep shop said to take her back down if she hadnt eaten for them to have another look at her, I had the day off on thurs so I thought I would take her down for them to check her over.... she hadnt been out for a while and was under the kitchen paper and in side her hide, so before i took her to the shop i went to take her water bowl out and check her too... she was milky!!
she hasnt shed for 3 months and not eaten for 2months!
I am now waiting for her to shed then try and feed her again! if she doesnt eat this time i'll take her back and the rep shop ppl can check her again!
Im gettin sick now  lol |

yeah shes a girl, she was probed when i got her, you can also tell by the length from her cloaca (if thats how ya spell it) to the tip of her tail, i said girl b4 they even did it! i know somtimes ya cant tell just by that but i was right lol :)
oh and how did your feed go crazy jj?? |

Another thought....are you sure your snake is female? There seems to be quite a lot of people that think they have a female until she goes off food during the breeding season and on inspection (probing) by a reptile expert she turns out to be HE!!! If you've not had her sexed maybe the reptile place you go could do it for you. |

its like a powder ya put in their water it boosts there system.. just gies them some energy its just basically a pick me up.. i used it 4 my non feeders n it works wonders :)
glad she shed 4 ya perfectly n just hopes she eats next time :) *fingers crossed* |

oooh iv never heard of reptileboost, its a liquid i take it? whats it meant to do (apart from the obvious lol).

i wouldnt worry yet... just wait till she shed.. then try her again but corns are alot hardier then what we give them credit 4 :)
My adults have all stopped eating at the moment... annoying but still but i'll let dime of as she was in shed and at last she has so she will be hopefully fed 2mora.
keep us updated, also i dont whether you are or not but it might be worth putting some reptileboost in her water, just to give her a bit of umph :) |

yeah I have heard a few ppls snakes have stopped feeding at the mo, apparently the breeding season is nearly over? it could be that hopefully nothing else is wrong, she looks in good condition tho! :) we did keep her in the kitchen but have moved her to the spair room now where it will be quieter for her, just incase! |

I read on here about somebody else having a female that has gone off her food. It was suggested she might be broody, with it being the mating season. I wonder if that may be a factor with your little girl, as well as her shed? Just a thought....perhaps one of our experts could give you more positive answers.  |

Don't worry just yet. Wait for her to shed.
Maybe after the shed she'll be ok..!
Keep us updated! |
