My BP hasn't eaten in over two weeks!!!
What should I do? She is usually a consistent eater, suddenly she has stopped eating. I have tried like 5 different times in the pas two weeks. I don't understand why she has suddenly refused to eat. The only thing I can think of is right aorund the time she stopped eating, the environment changed drastically. It went from being cold outside to extremely warm. Her cage temperature has stayed pretty much the same. Should I be worried? Is she gonna die?

BPs can go for months without eating. Do some research and make sure all your husbandry details are in place (heat/hides/moisture). Check out the care sheet. It will give you all the details you need. I would not worry after only 2 weeks. Also, if your BP refuses a meal, wait another week before trying again.

Trying to feed to often will stress a bp out. Just try to feed on your regular schedule. Check your husbandry if it is correct I wouldn't worry about it to much..

My big normal girl stopped eating in the middle of september and still hasn't taken a meal. I have a feeling she'll start eating again in march.
If you've got a sexually mature ball python, its going to stop eating at some point, its just how they are. Double check your husbandry. If everything is where is should be then don't worry. He'll start eating again when he feels like it.
If you want, offer food every 2 weeks or so.
