    Ball Python acceptable weight loss and tips.

    Hello all! My female normal hasn't eaten in 6 months or so and she has lost 50g of weight, I want some advice on how much weight loss is acceptable before I decide to force feed, I've already tried everything to get her to eat but she won't so I'm not here for that, she was 1338g now she is 1290g, 50g in one month.

    Thank you

    I'm also not concerned by that amount, especially over a 6 month fast.
