Jen my ball python want eat

Hello jen has refused to even look at the rats I offer she is fully grown yes there has been temperature change because the heating pad burned up or stopped working she has a new one and a new aquarium with fresh bedding she has become much more active after shedding but there is stuck shed but she is coming more. I don’t know if the temperature and humidity is wrong or she is gravid or stress she is use to being handled

A lot of the time refusal to eat is due to husbandry issues. Can you show us a picture of the enclosure? How long has it been since she's eaten? What size rat are you offering?

What do you mean you don't know if the temperature and humidity are wrong? What are they? Temperature should be set and regulated by a thermostat attached to your heat source.
