albino corn snake won't eat?

Question

my snake recently shed, and right afterwards i noticed that she regurgitated twice and became very active. she usually spends most of her time in her "log" but now she's circling the cage constantly and acts like she wants to get out. i accidently skipped last weeks feeding, and went to feed her today, and she almost acted like she was afraid of the mouse, she wouldnt go anywhere near it. ive been feeding her the same sized mice for a while now,so i know theyre not too big, the temperature in the tank is at about 75, the only thing i could think of thats causing this is that my cats have been hanging around the tank a lot in the past couple weeks than they have in a while. what do you guys think? i really hope she isnt sick.....

i am feeding her frozen mice

Answer 1

It could be the cats scaring her. We have an albino corn too and when we feed her we usually knock the mice out before she gets to them, if you aren't doing that I would suggest trying it, because like the last person said they might have scratched her. More then likely she regurgitated because she had shed. You normally shouldn't feed a snake if it's shedding, check the eyes they should be milky or whiter then usual if she's about to shed. But keep those cats away from her. We keep ours in a seperate room where no other animals can disturb her. Temperature has nothing to do with food/eating, only shedding, another thing is humidity. So it's not the temp.

Answer 2

are you feeding live? if so she could have been bite/scratched and is now weary of them try frozen (thaw first) see if that works skipping a wk feeding wont hurt thay can go a few months without food if necessary (of course you wouldn't go this long ) but they can survive. good luck oh also parasites can make them regurge

Answer 3

The first thing you should do is to get that cat out of there. You should also raise the temperature a liitle and take her out to do some exercise in your hand, that might help.
