1200g Fast

Megz, you might just have a trouble eater-- I see updates to her eating threads whenever I turn around! lol. Just keep offering, she'll eat when she's hungry.

Usually my BP's go for about a 3 month fast or so starting in November or so. But this year I have 2 BP's that have been on a fast since September, which makes it about 6 months now and still going. I've found that when temperatures where I live dip enough where I see morning frost outside during the Fall months, that's when my BP's usually decide to start their fasts regardless of what temperatures or humidity I've kept their cages at (it's really weird, I know:weirdface). I've offered them both live and F/T rats of appropriate size every 2 weeks just to see if maybe they would eat, but they want nothing to do with either of them. The best advice I can offer is to patiently wait, make sure her environment temps and humidity are up to par, offer her food every so often when you see appropriate, weigh her to make sure they don't lose too much weight, and wait just wait it out till she decides that one glorious day to finally start eating again. :) Best of Luck!

Oh ok I'm feeling much better now thanks everyone :) her temps are 87-90 hot side and 75-77 cool side. I have been offering regularly and monitoring the weight. I actually have heard it could be the time of year. Mine stopped eating at the beginning of December and then ate on December 23rd and nothing since. The problem is I have this live rat I have to keep taking care of :-/ I was told about pithing but I feel bad if my snake doesn't eat it I certainly won't want to keep it ... And I'm sure no one will want it
