my childrens python stopped feeding

[mavrick1981]

hi everyone.
My childrens hatchie has had 3 feeds since i have had her she has shed once aswell 2 weeks ago and fed 2 days later and now she wont eat. i have tried scenting and braining the pinkies with no luck. nothing has changed with her encolsure either cant figure it out please help.:?

nothing to worry about, snakes often refuse food, particularly hatchlings. just keep trying a few times, then wait and try again some other time, she'll get it eventually

What enclosure/tub set up have you got? What heat source? Have temps changed? Is she being handled more recently?

Hey Shayne
I would stop scenting and braining , the snake was eating on thawed pink mice previously so no need to scent or brain it , you will just be causing more issues imo ..
Your set up sounds fine from what you told me , and if it has eaten 3 times and shed in your care she seems fine and I am sure it will eat again , just keep trying what i have previously told you to do each few nights in regards to offering the food .... if you have no luck in the next week send me another PM and I will pop around and see what we can work out.
