Amanda,

I have a pair of Ridleyi also and one thing that most snake/reptile keepers need to keep in mind is that we are now into winter time and ALOT of snakes will simply slow down or stop feeding due to difference in photoperiods and any slight drop in temp. Just be patient and I'd give your snake a week to 10 days, then offer it food. (I'm assuming you animal has good body weight and does not have complications already) Good luck...
