    It can last anywhere from a few weeks to literally a year. One of my males was off feed for 11 months before he started eating again. It's very frustrating, especially once you get many that go off feed and you thaw out all these rats for nothing...but you just have to remember that it's normal behavior for the most part, and as long as he doesn't lose too much weight I wouldn't worry.

    Ball Pythons are notorious for going off feed and it isn't necessarily a bad thing. I would honestly only worry if he/she hasn't eaten for a year or you see a drastic weigh change and other abnormalities.

    ^ That is what I got from all the research I been doing as of late. Others would be able to provide better advice than me though. :)
