hello, new to the forum here, but long time herp keeper

i recently aquired a yellow anaconda from a show. the first day i got her she ate 2 adult mice without hesitation(frozen thawed) but now...i cannot get her to eat ANYTHING its been 3 weeks since she ate those 2 mice and still nothing, i offer food usually 2 times a week frozen thawed, then live, even tried a chick..and nothing. I never noticed her eyes cloud over but i do see that her skin has an almost metalic sheen to it so i've been soaking her in lukewarm water just incase i missed the cloudy eyes and she's about to shed.. If anyone has worked with these snakes and can shed (no pun intended) some light on my dilemma i'd appreciate it, i really want to get her feeding asap thanks!

James
