    Re: Ball python not eating

    Hi,

    Not really no.

    Can you run us through your husbandry and history?

    Pictures of bnoth the snake and the enclosure might help people give more specific advice too.

    Also if the snake is about to shed or not.

    Sometimes they go off feed but like dr. del I'd want the same info he asked for.

    BP's are famous for going off feed...especially in the winter months or during breeding season...I'm not sure why you're saying no? Because it's only 450 grams? The way some people feed their snakes, that could be a two year old...

    OP...if your husbandry is on, it's normal. That's the great thing about BP's...you only have to pay to feed them for 7-8 months out of the year.
