I purchased a female royal python 2 weeks ago (CF Jan 2013), it's been 3 weeks since she last fed. I've been offering her weaner rats that I've warmed up, she seems interested but won't take them (I leave them in over night). I've read that I should cut the rat so she gets the scent but I need to build up the courage to do this.
Today I decided to cover all sides of her viv except 1 door, I'm hoping this will make her feel secure enough to eat.
Considering this is such a young snake, I'm a little worried about her reluctance to feed. I was warned that pythons are difficult feeders but I want to get her back on track asap.
Does anyone have specials tricks to get them to eat?
