how long off feed before i need to worry
i am fairly new to ball pythons have had mine for about 4 months now...he has skipped 1 meal on me before he was in blue but ate the next week for me just fine...he has skipped 3 meels now he weighed 275g down to 273g he is 22 inches long and the mouse is 30g...it is cool in my basement the warm sida ambiant stays at 83-84 and the cool side about 73...have a 91 deg hot spot...he usualy sits in the cold hide...this is a tank set up about to switch to racks but want another t-stat...heating ais a CHE and a UTH on a reptitemp 500 t-stat i know not to good but its working for me...what do you all think when should i worry and how could i make things better for him if it is husbandry related...

Yea they can go along just fine for a while..but after a while they'll shut down..it happens..Some will never even notice but others will just stop..
