Well, as recomended I gave her several days of long warm soaks only to be rewarded with zero results. Surprisingly,I did see her drinking. I also took this opportunity to examine her, since I had her out anyway. However, I was not able to feel any lodged masses, nor did I encounter anything else that did not feel,smell, or look right. Her color looks great and although I did not weigh her she does not appear to have lost any weight.
In the normal course of things how long is it reasonable for me to believe she will be off food, before I have to worry.
Thank you
Jonathan

Hi:
Good that she is drinking. I would do this once a week or so to keep her topped off.
As for the feeding question....maybe Feb or March at least before I would worry.

I don't know what you have tried but I was having trouble with a young gaboon that wouldn't eat,I put the snake and the prekilled rat pup in a small rubbermaid container and stuck it back into its enclosure left it there for the night with no results then I removed the cover this morning placed a blanket over the enclosure and when I got home from work the rat pup was gone,I don't know if this will help you but it is worth a shot.
Good luck'
Jeremy
