Snake going off food. Again.
I've had my BP for about 9 months now. She went off of food from December to March. I fed her a rat pup and a small rat in the beginning of March and then she hasn't eaten since then.
I know it's normal for them to do this, but it just worries me that she's only eaten twice in almost 5 months.

This is exactly what my 4 years old male does.

She's about 9 months old and she's right at 400 grams.

She ways a little over 400 grams and is almost 10 months. I normally feed her small rats but the local pet shop only had pups so I fed her one to hold her over for a bit because she had just come off of a 4 month strike.
