what are your hot and cool end temperatures ?

you could also try braining the prey

a snake can go months with out feeding and have no health issues,i only feed my Diamonds 6 months of the year,my other Carpets only get 2 to 4 feeds in the winter season

re breeding season
it's not uncommon for snakes to go off their food,leading up to and during the breeding season

the main thing here is that you don't panic and show some patience...

could you post some full body shot pictures,that way we can give you an educated opinion,as to how she looks weight wise


cheers shaun
Thanks, I'll take a break from trying for a bit. Her cool side is about 70 and her warm side is 85. I thaw the frozen mice in warm water (it's in a ziplock, not directly in water). I haven't tried braining yet, would that just be a small incision on the head?

This is the best angle I can get, the dip seems to go in deeper in person, but I'm sure I'm overreacting regardless. Thanks for all the help & input, would just rather be safe than sorry when it comes to my girl!
