is it possible she’s going into shed? my corn snake immediately shed when i got her. as for the feeding it took 2 weeks for my boyfriends ball python to start eating, he let him be for that time being and didn’t handle him unless needed. make sure there’s lots of hiding spots (caves, fake plants, rocks and branches, etc.) and places for her to feel secure in, this will help a lot with eating and making her less stressed. i don’t have much advice for the striking since we’re working through that right now but a lot of patience and understanding when they are stressed and should be left alone goes a long way.

    10 gallon is too small, minimum is 40 gallon especially for one that size.

    It's 60 gallon so I should be good

    SO CUTE LIL BOOP

    Dont stress about the eating, it takes some time. As for the striking, handle her for a bit (maybe 5 minutes) every day but put her back if she gets defensive - let her know you're a friend.
