My Stevie is fasting for the winter this year. I'm not worried, because he hasn't lost weight, he's not dehydrated, he shows no signs of illness, and he got a 'well python visit' to the local vet not too long ago. My parents are, but since Steve usually lives in my dorm with me, they don't have a lot of interaction with him and don't know his habits.
He started in mid-December, so he's been off feed for approximately a month. I continue to offer him medium rats once a week, but he's still disinterested. Now, he didn't go off food last year(presumably because he was still relatively little), so this is my first experience with a fast.
Are there any things that I should watch out for while he's fasting?
Also, about how long do yours fast, if they do?
Thanks, EM.
