Its someone from the North East that has been a problem recently.
A couple of good feeds should sort that snake out, fingers crossed. |

Thanks BE. What is it called and where would I get it? |

Yeah, I think I read the thread about him. Treatment of the snakes aside it made for funny reading. Had annoyed alot of people from what I recall. This snake has come to me from Norfolk so different person, who actually has good feedback, although for buying. |

Been told she might be dehydrated and that I should bathe her. Any thoughts?
She is a pastel and she wasn't cheap  |

A soak in reptoboost is great because they can drink the water with the supplement in it.

Came home tonight with some stuff to bathe her in and she was all curled uo cosy in her warm hide so I am leaving her be. Don't want to disturb her now she is settling into her hide. Going to attempt feed on sat and if she doesn't feed then I will get some reptoboost into her by bathing her in it.
If she is weeing though so must be taking on fluids, is that right? |

Update
Tried a feed last night. She showed a little bit of interest but didn't take it.
Left it on top of her warm hide and was still there this morning. I bathed her this morning in a solution to try and get some hydration into her, she seems lively and bright enough so thats good.
No weight loss over the week either.
Now going to leave her alone for 7 days and then try another feed.
Should I try her on rat pups again or try a small mouse?
Thanks

RESULT!
forgot how good it feels when they feed for the first time. 
Defrosted a rat pup and a small mouse. She got excited when i lowered rat pup in and was circling in her hide. She sniffed the pup but then got scared and went back into hide. So I tried lowering in the mouse and BAM!! she struck and has eaten. So pleased know I know she has fed, have been so worried since the skinny girl first arrived at my door two weeks ago. Fed by ipod light
Thanks everyone for support.

| Had her second strike feed on Wednesday night. Rat pup this time, so all is good. Hopefully she'll feed as well as my male from now on. |
