But you at 18 months are probably there, or very close to it.  But as I said. 18 months is not unheard of  & I have heard of T's going 2 years without food.Try different foods. Several of my T's will only eat smaller prey. Put anything too  big in for them & they simply refuse to eat it. Also try pre killed food. So crickets, beheaded morioworms & mealworms etc. And try leaving food in for more than 24 hours. I have a couple of T's who I know need 48 hours with food. Sometimes foods goes instantly, often overnight, when the room is dark & quiet is a good feeding time & sometimes, with some T's it just takes a little longer. Not every T is the same. So just try different things & see if something works best for her.</blockquote>
