    Ball python refusing food for second week in a row
    My 9 month old male ball python has never refused a meal since I've had him (which was since he hatched). Until two weeks ago he refused, and then today he refused too. Husbandry is fine, humidity is fine. HE just had a perfect shed about 4 days ago.

    am I rightfully worried or am I over reacting?

    Hes prolly hitting his food fast, is he around 500-700grams?

    My male refused food for 11 months once he hit 900 grams, don't be surprised if it takes a while.

    i had a snake that never refused a meal even seconds. He was my best feeder. When he hit 1,200 grams he stopped eating for severral months. As long as he isnt losing weight it shouldnt be an issue.
