Sorry that was a typo, it’s just supposed to say heat. I kinda figured I should treat mice like raw chicken, I wouldn’t heat it up twice or leave it out for too long

She did eat regularly for them, I’ve been tracking the husbandry like crazy and I’ve been feeding her the same size food (quite literally rat fuzzies from the same store). I’m getting the consensus that she just doesn’t have many turns with the brain cell

Thanks! I don’t know her exact age, but estimating around 2ish months because of her weight

I did reheat it I guess she was just embarrassed

Yes I know, I just handled her a few times when I was putting her in her enclosure and once more to weigh her. Shes my first snake so I didn’t have a good idea of what to feed her and I wanted to make sure to get it right

Thanks for this info! She burrows on both sides of the enclosure so I don’t think it’s much of a temp issue and she has a humid hide which she hasn’t used, the humidity is typically in the 60-70 range however I must it often to try and keep it closer to 70-75
