Sometimes changing your food source will affect their eating response, but unless there's something actually wrong with your pinkies, I think that it's rare that changing your source will get them to eat.

Elaine, is it possible yours is just about to start her shed process? Since she's eaten for you 3 times already, it's odd that she would refuse now. Have her temperatures changed at all?

Size:  223.2 KB that's what I thought too. But these are pics right before I gave her her pinkie. Does she look like she's shedding? I can't tell.

She may be just going blue. It's easier to tell by behavior.

Since this is my first snake it'll take me a bit to learn her habits. I'm so excited that she ate though.

Yay! It is so cool to learn a new pet's habits, even snakes have very different personalities and you know pretty quick when to and (more importantly) when NOT to bug them!

And with each new corn (oh yes, you'll get more) you get a new personality to learn!

Wow- she looks completely different! So, usually we avoid feeding the snake when it is blue, because there is a good chance of regurgitation. So- if she's blue, then skip it till she sheds. If she refuses, and she might be blue- it's been about a month- then trust her and let her not eat- don't try to tempt her.

Smigon- I already want a male to raise along with her and someday mate. Not sure if that's the right snake terminology.

Males mature a lot faster, so you have at least a year to decide on the perfect mate.
