Kill undersized rat but not eat it.
Fast for 4 weeks.
Eat 1 undersized rat.
Fast for 2 weeks.
Kill undersized rat but not eat it.
Fast for 10 months.
Repeat next year.

Now that's one damn feeding schedule. Sounds like a very picky eater to me! Haha

Never had a fast :)

My baby girl has the best feeding response I've ever seen from a snake,and I've dealt with some very picky eaters.

11 months for an adult male

Both of my hognose snakes were reluctant feeders that fasted for stretches and then one day had a complete change of opinion about food.. now they are voracious multi-feeder chompers. I think both went through fasts that lasted a year with only a very few feedings.

Same thing with one of my rainbow boas, she was picky but about a year and a half ago decided she likes eating regularly.

My ball pythons haven't given me too much trouble, some have been picky, most have been great, none have given me a whole year of fasting.

One of my girls is on month 12 right now...however, she is starting to get quite thin (to the point where I'm considering assist feeding). She wasn't the greatest weight when she decided to stop eating, so this is definitely my most frustrating fast.

My girl Cu eats for about 4 months out of every year... Sometimes I can convince her to take one or two half-sized meals in the winter, but it's uncommon. Then once summer comes around she is an eating MACHINE. Balls are the weirdest snakes, I swear.

15 months and she laid a clutch of eggs then went back to eating normally

Hatched a female spider that hadn't eaten for 13 months..so I gave her some mice and it was like "Snake Crack". She's eating mice again.
