How long is it since she ate......The pics you posted are not the greatest to judge a snake by, but she doesn't look unduly thin to me.

bout 8 weeks go

That is some time, but in my experience not a real long time. Keep an eye on her weight and make sure it doesn't drop dramatically. I wouldn't worry just yet, after all she is old enough to know this is egg laying time, it may have something to do with it....

seems to hide under water bowl lot. ive tried lot of things keeping her in small box with her a small mouse even with fuzzy to see if she eat that, but all she does is hide underwater bowl

Are you sure its a female??

Are you sure its a female??

I'd have to wonder the same thing. If she's hiding under her water bowl, maybe she's gravid and just looking for a place to lay eggs; hence the not eating part?

 

[Cat_Eyed_Lady]

or maybe a male doing his spring hunger strike??

 

[johnny]

yes the breeder told me she was female has we named her cleopatra when i met her she told me she have for me when shes few months old
can female be gravid when no males bout i mean shes just hides in under her water bowl when i pick her up shes climbing all round her viv and lookin throu the glass of it

Some females will produce slugs when they're unmated, you could pop a laybox in to see what happens.
