Stressed snake questions

[kawasakirider]

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it. I'll just leave her alone for a week and try again, but only if it's a relatively warm day.

The fussy feeder I have fed last week, I used the method of dropping a food item in with it and leaving it in a dark room alone. Came back an hour later and it was gone

Yep, my Woma seems a bit like that.. She shows a bit of interest in food and follows it around the enclosure as I jiggle it, but I have to put it down and when I come back a few minutes later.. she's eating it.

Some good advice comments made by cement and blue BUT ?

"its a snake! They can handle a bit of harassment"
Not true when dealing with jungles that can be easily stressed out.

Fair comment Roger, I had no idea it was a jungle..Are we talking about a jungle?
Regardless though, without knowing exactly what this bloke did to the snake, one night of "harrassment" shouldn't be to difficult to overcome.

Just leave it for a while, and next feed do as normal. If its not cold or shedding etc, and it still doesn't eat, then you'll have to get more sneaky about presenting the food.

Yeah mate, it's a Jungle. It wasn't one night of harassment, lol. She struck by herself a few times and coiled, but on the last go she wasn't striking so I whacked her (softly) with it around her neck and head, maybe for a minute? She tried to get away from it, but I persisted because she's done this before and struck after a bit of pestering.

I plan on leaving her alone, she isn't hiding or anything, just chilling on top of her rock hide, I'm guessing it's warm. I'll leave her alone for another week and see how it goes I just felt like I should make sure I didn't stress her out too much, because as I said, the last snake I had that I exchanged for her was petrified of food.
