Constantly hiding

[DrGraeme]

Thanks so much to everyone for answering my questions in the past, I do have another one in the pipeline now...

Katana has been very scarce lately for the last week or two, and has not been roaming around virtually at all (that we have seen). Also she has taken to burrowing in her substrate rather than using her hides. Last week she refused a feed but I think she just never came out of hiding to find her food.

My question is, should I try and get her out of hiding for her meal times or listen to her and just wait it out until she's out and about again?

It is winter here at the moment but it's still mild, and her warm hide is sitting at 28degC. She has displayed this behavoiur before just before a shed but she's not due for a good while yet.

So should I get her out, or just let her be??

Thanks.

Is it possible she is blue and that is why she isn't out and about, and also why she refused her meal? I don't feed until after the snake has shed, if blue. Otherwise, I dig them out on feeding day.

Thanks for the advice Nanci.
I'll dig her out and feed tonight. I'll double check if she's blue but she has only recently shed. (we're busy waiting for Domino the Calking to shed and get over being all aggro).
