I know it is worrying Rachi, but this does happen sometimes and the fact that it is an adult who has missed a couple of feeds is more reassuring than it being your baby. When I first got Kellog (who is a male 4yr old) he wouldnt feed for 13 weeks. I was a total newbie and it was this forum that kept me sane and gave me the advice I needed. Through them I discovered that he had gone into a mating mode and just wanted a female...so I just had to wait til it had passed. I followed their advice and continued to offer him a mouse on his usual feeding day, dangling it first and then leaving it in the viv overnight. But it was always there in the morning. One thing I also started to do was weigh him which is a very good idea cos it showed he wasnt loosing much weight. I would certainly suggest you do that with your snake. You can imagine my shock when one morning I went through the normal feeding ritual expecting nothing and he suddenly struck and ate! It was the first time I had experienced it and it had been a long 13 weeks of worry that I was doing something wrong, despite being reassured on here that everything was fine. Since then he has fed well.
Is she still active? Handling ok? Drinking? Pooing normally?
