600-800 Grams Ball Pythons Do They Go Off Food?

[Cissin]

I have 3 ball pythons between 600 and 800 grams who stopped eating. One stopped over a month ago and the other 2 haven't eaten in 2-3 weeks. Is this somewhat normal in Northeastern PA in April?

Knowing the gender of the snakes would help a lot here. That said it is normal for any to go off food at any time. Do not worry unless they start losing weight in excess of 50ish grams for the weights you gave.

My male bumblebee went off food for about 2 months and he's only about 350g he's just started eating again. It's definitely normal for your bigger older ones to start to go off feed. If your husbandry is spot on as they stop eating it's just a hunger strike, and they will start eating again whenever they feel like it. I still have a male that's on strike but at least my younger one is eating now.

Male is the biggest, and 2 females a little smaller. Should I try moving the male back to my Sub-Adult Rack?
I just bought a bigger rack for them a few days ago.
