Question
I don't know what to do. I've been buying different size mice once a week. She does not notice they are there. Also at night she has been making wierd screeches. Is she not hungary or is she sick? Its been since early January since she last ate. What can I do?

Answer
Hey Robert

You snake should NEVER make any noises, unless there is something seriously wrong with her respiratory system. She needs to see a vet ASAP. Normally this time of year, especially with females, this is breeding season and some lose their appetites. But with the noises, this is something else.
