You should ask to see it eat before buying it. If it did not to see it eat and it did not eat after you got it, you should have told the person that sold it to you right away. Some of the wild caught snakes do not eat for various reasons. My past experience with snakes are limited but have ran into that problem before. I would force feed it pinkie mice or pinkie rats. Waited till it is dehydrated is not good. You will have use a snake hook to grab the snake and hold its head than use forceps to push the pinkie down its mouth. Wetting the pinkie will help in go down the mouth of the snake. You have to get food in the snake to keep it alive. Eventually it will strike and eat by itself. You may have waited too long. Good Luck.

If the snake is still striking at you or your hand, it likely means that she still has the strength to feed on her own. I wouldnt force feed her just yet.
Sounds like your feeding technique my not be right, how are you doing it?

Post some pics of the snake and its enclosure. There's a number of factors that would cause a snake to not eat. How big is it? Is it cb or wc? Is the cage in a high traffic area?
