    Normal Bp going on fast
    Well my heater went out in my snake room a few weeks before I got the spider Bp and I had to move my boa and normal downstairs and that's when I started having eating issues with the normal. He's about two or three years old and almost 1000 grams (he has lost some weight so hes 950) he's refuse food since the move downstairs. Is this just the winter fast or something more serious?

    Ball pythons when moved to a different location may fast. I have had this situation occur and many other breeders as well.

    A ball python can go off feed for any number of reasons, and do so quite frequently. If the environment in your enclosure is steady then I would give it a bit before becoming overly concerned, especially if you see no other cause to worry except he won't eat. I have one guy right now that is stubbornly holding out on me because we're making the switch to f/t instead of live for him. He ate one frozen thawed three weeks ago and has since turned his nose up at every one since I've offered. I also have one massive girl, around 2200 grams, and she hasn't eaten in four weeks. Not breeding either. She is simply a pet. She does this sometimes. Eats a large rat every seven days like clockwork for months on end, and then suddenly she makes me work for it. It happens sometimes. Make sure everything in the enclosure is as it should be, and then just give him a few days and try again.

    Just keep an eye on the weight.
    I have a spider that eats 4 medium rats a year, he hovers between 1100g and 1300g

    Ok just wanted to see what others say because he used to take them no matter what time of the year it was
