Definitely going to take some patience. He's coming up on 11 months off feed. I was told he was around 1100g and was a proven breeder who never refused a meal while with Boas and Balls. It would be nice to get him back up to 1000g+.

He surely is a very nice looking snake! Good Luck with getting him to eat again. Geeze, I was freaking out when my snake went 43 days without food, but 11 months, that is just crazy! :O

He's in good hands.
Hope you get him to eat soon!

nice snake i love pins. i picked up one last year that wouldn't eat for anything and needed to be assit feed several times. finnaly i got him on live hoppers then f/t hoppers, then live rat pups then finnaly f/t rat pups. it was a little stressfull because he was so little http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file...ead_667491.jpg

but now he's pounding weanling rats and has just about caught up to our other 2010 as you can see in this group shothttp://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file.../snake_mix.jpg

i wouldn't let it stress you out to much i had a ball go of food for 18 months back in the 90's when they were mostly wild caught, but it did start feeding again on it's own and when it did i gained back all the weight it had lost in just a couple of months

That Pin you have looks great now! I'd definitely be more worried if mine was smaller, but considering he's still sitting at around 700g and his spine isn't protruding too much (granted he's lost 300-400g) I'm not worried about him right now. I've heard stories of BPs going off feed for over one year and have recovered fine. Hopefully he does not require assist feeding, though I highly doubt he would considering he was eating perfectly fine from 2008 to August of 2010. Sometimes it just takes a change of scenery. :)

He's pretty. I bet he'll eat for you, it was breeding season and boys get kind of loopy :P

i know I sure do! :P

^ haha!!! :8:

And congrats on the new male!! After reading other success stories about snakes with you, I'm sure he'll start eating in no time! Good luck!
