So at the moment you're only feeding her pinky mice is that it? I would definately be trying at least fuzzy rats as both my jungles that are only 7mths old are both eating fuzzy rats about once a week, although it's probably about every 10days now as it's getting colder.
Try that and see how she goes, otherwise you'll find she'll be hungry and as jungles are already a species that tends to be snappy she may be snappier.
Let us know how it goes!!
Cheers,
Mell

If you leave it another day it won't really bother her as you only fed her wednesday and just get some rats as soon as you can. The smaller the meal you'll have to feed her more often and some people do prefer to do that but you've also got to keep up the proper protein required for a growing snake and since she's not a hatchy I would definately reccomend rats and she'll quite easily take a fuzzy, my juvies scoff em down!! hehe!!
Good Luck
Mell

Definately feed a larger prey item, ie fuzzy or even small weiner rats.
If you have been feeding mice up to this point, try to change to rats, as this will save you some money when your snake grows, you,ll only have to feed 1 x rat as opposed to 5 or more mice.

I'm not sure how others do it but we just defrost under warm water and then just dry it off before feeding.... always gets accepted! However with the large rats we feed our diamond they take longer so we put them in the sink with warm water and just keep checking on them!

Don't feed her twice a week, she needs some time to digest, once a week will be fine.
