Hey everyone thanks for checkin out the post.
Its been 18 days since she ate. When she eats she eats a lil less than half of a pinky. If I put her in a dark place with the food she'll just go to sleep. I've left it in there for half of a day once.
Also has spots but I think they are her organs. There's a long redish one in the middle and a green one above it and below it. Plus 3 green ones near her tail. Will provide pics when I get home around 7pm est.
Anyone have any ideas? My friend told me her snake went a month without eating fine. When I wake up then I wake her up and refill the water bowl. Once she sees the refilled water bowl she drinks like mad. That's happens every morning flawless so I don't think she unhealthy.
 
Try leaving the pinky in with her overnight.

The internal organs are visible in lighter coloured COrns, so I think that's all you're seeing there.
 
Tried the over night idea and it didn't work. Day 19, she just looks at it then turns away. I should be more speedy about the pics. Omw into the city now and I don't have them on my sd card. Anyone with any other ideas? Or maybe she's just not hungry....I don't know anyone with a suggestion please post.
 
oh she's hungry......

There are tons of different things you can do. You can brain a pinky, which is cutting a slit in its head to make smells come out. You can scent a pinky in beef broth, chicken broth, and tuna juice. and, you can wash the pink, which is washing it with soapy water then rising it good before feeding.
 
My anery wouldn't eat at first, I had to cut the pink into thirds before he would eat the first time. Let me say, it was nasty but I'd do it again in a heartbeat to make sure my sweeties eat. The next feeding he had it in halfsies the third he ate whole and has been eating whole since. Good luck!
 
if u have a hamster or u breed mice u could put the mouse on the bedding as to create the smell of hamsters then place the bedding with the mouse on it in the viv .. i haven had to do this myself but that is what i was told if my corn wouldn't eat :) hope u figure it out , good luck !
 
I do chop it up, thats the only way she'll eat. I put it in whole once and she just starred at it so I chopped it up and she likes it in pieces but she wont even mess with the pieces. Day 20 BTW. not sure what she wants.
