Drill easy... Dont apply any pressure just let the bit work or the Plexy can crack... If it does no biggy as long as its small.. Dont get the cheap cheap Plexy, get the Duraplex. Its flexible and wont snap to peices. :gj:

Sounds like a "winter fast." Many males of breeding age tend to go through this. I wouldn't worry.

I have a clown that just came out of a 7 month fast.

Wow 7 months... Do you know about how many Grams he lost? Did he still drink? Did he pass Urates or anytning else during that time & did you have to soak him for hydration?

7 months isn't unheard of. He didn't lost much weight at all (about 100 grams down from 2000 grams). No additional special care was needed (soaking, etc). If the water is there, they'll drink when they need too.

I do not soak my ball pythons unless there is a piece of a stick shed (common in New York, with the dry air and excess indoor heating).

Thats for sure neighbor. Im itching like crazy here in NY with Forced air heating hahahahahaha.
Ive never in 29 years had a snake go off feed longer than a month but of course hear about it all the time especially when people breed. That weight loss your talking about isnt even enough to notice. Thats cool.

Sorry. Didn't realize my iPhone's auto correct was being incorrect.

Do you have a temp gun to directly double check temps in your cage? If temps are dropped in your house they may have in the cage, a rheostat doesn't give quite the control over temps as a thermostat. Is the only heating from the uth? Has anything changed around the house-new animals, more traffic? Pic of the setup?

Yes, I have a temp gun, I double check his temps with it every day to twice a day, nothing has changed in his enclosure, no higher traffic. The only new animal in the house is the bearded dragon a month before he stopped eating but he ate like clockwork even with all the hubbub of a new tank coming into the house. He's in the living room of our apartment but it's just the three of us and we're all quiet, introverted adults, no kids. He normally likes to poke his head out of his hide to watch the telly with us when it's on. He's never been bothered by us before in the almost two years I've had him. I made sure he's always had a lot of cover plants in his tank so that he feels closed in and secure and it's been that same setup for over a year now. Even when I put him in his new bigger tank cause he was outgrowing the old one, still ate that same week, he loved the new bigger hides i got him when he was having a hard time fitting in his old ones. I've been lucky, he's always been super adaptable to subtle changes. But gods forbid I put his branch on the wrong side of the tank, I did that once and he didn't eat for two weeks until I moved it back. Haven't made that mistake again. He has uth and an over tank ceramic heat emitter just to be sure his ambient stays nice and toasty through the winter months (Ambient air hasn't dropped below 80). Here in Washington it got SUPER cold this year and has been pouring rain and snow.
