    Stubborn baby ball pythons
    I have two snakes one around 180 grams and one around 270 grams. They were eating fine for a few months and then bam now they are off food. Ive always offered food live and f/t and they never took it. I dont want to resort to assist feeding just yet but after trying mice and they dont eat I might have to. Opinions on how to get them to eat again?

    Wait it out.
    How long have they been off?
    I have two females, an albino and OG that pulled the same stuff with me.

    Mine has done the same thing as well. Was eating like a pig for months then just stopped when winter came around. Can't be for breeding season since they are so young. I'd like to hear more answers on this as well.

    While going off feed is stressful, it's more stressful to assist feed. Just monitor there weight, I wouldn't assist feed unless there is a significant weight loss.
