I got my ball python in July. He was always a great and eager eater, even used to peek out of his hide whenever I entered the room. When winter began he first started refusing food. He refused for the first time, and then didn't eat again until 2 weeks later where he took a F/T rat. Then he refused meals again and now it's been about 3 weeks.
He spent most of the time in his hide and looks healthy and fine whenever I take him out. Recently I've seen him just sitting out in the open on top of logs or whatever spot he chooses at night, not roaming but just sitting. Then today I came in and there he is again sitting out in the open only its during the day now. Could this be a sign that he is starting to get his appetite back or is he just choosing to not hide anymore?
I was going to take him out to try and feed but he's wedged between a log and the side of the enclosure and won't let me get him lol.
Should mention that Temps and humidity are in the recommended range as well, and he's always been happy in his environment. I just don't get why one that's under a year old wouldnt eat.
