    Whats the longest your BP has gone off feed?

    My big male BP has been off feed for 3 months. He ate about a month ago but just once and has refused since. Whats the longest you have personally seen a BP stay off feed for?

    I had a male black psstel go off feed for almost 9 months. I've heard of some going close to 13 months.

    Ive always heard that everybody who owns a BP long enough will at some point deal with a snake going off feed but when it actually happens its a weird feeling. I think it feels weird because he was a monster when it came to feeding he never turned down meals and the prey wouldnt last longer than 20 seconds in with this guy (i feed live)

    One has gone 2 months maybe 3 at most and another had gone off for just one. But still any period of time they stop eating is annoying lol.

    Re: Whats the longest your BP has gone off feed?

    Petey seems to follow the pattern of Wafer and Oreo(2 colubrids) and stops eating around October. Then starts eating around late February/March again.

    Too lazy to look up another thread similar to this but I remember seeing someone who said they had a BP go off feed for 18 months which I believe is/was the longest length of time in the thread.

    My little guy refused a couple times,but that was with rat pups and he don't really care for them and it's extremely frustrating. But mice it's a win always...Snakes aren't suppose to stress you out.
