 Stopped eating

I have only 4 BP’s right now and i had this one Ball Python for about 6 months now and i let her get used to the cage for a week before handeling her. All her temps are good. here are the readings right now. Ambient temperature is 85 with hot spot at 89. Humidity is 55% (not in shed) she was an excellent eater when i started to feed her. then few months later she just stopped. This happened around the time i tried to get her prenaunt. But i think it failed because she hasn’t gained any weight and she hasn’t gotten big. I tried to started to get her prenaunt about 2 months ago and since then she hasn’t eaten anything. I know there are going to be a lot more questions before i get answers but just fire them away and i will try to answer them as best as i can. Thanks.

Well considering that you’ve also posted about having a gigantic sub and cranking that up, I suspect that is the issue. That the snake is simply stressed. Just my $.02.

Also, please don’t take this the wrong way, but why are you posting BP problems in the Blood and Shorttail forum? There is a forum designated specifically for BPs and with some extremely knowledgeable people there I think you’d get a lot more help. Have a good one.
