Re: Baby ball python not eating for 2.5 months
I realize the animal is only 190 gms down from his original 230gms. So I know it’s not the 1000 gm. wall theory on refusing. At his age he should be a feeding machine where they utilize a big portion of their meals for growth and have very little waste. He can’t be in a breeding mode either however the handling and environmental possibilities should be explored more.

Be careful pulling up older threads and commenting instead of making a new one or checking the stickies.
Armiyana, this thread was pulled up previously by Aplahz 3/11/2022 and responded to by several other members. Old threads are quite often resurrected due to a interest by someone. They become answers for keepers in similar situations and circumstances. I did check the date but saw several responses and decided to chime in.

The comment that necro'd it was about how pretty the animal is, which you replied to about upping the time between feedings like it wasn't from 9 months prior.
Yes, it sparked more conversation from a member who hadn't seen the thread, but it seems counterproductive to keep talking about an animal who's owner just dropped off with no further info instead of a new post that maybe references the thread instead. I honestly only checked in on this because I hoped it was an update from OP.
I'm probably just a bit biased from how other forums I poke around are regarding necros and lacking in patience after some of my own day to day stresses though. So for that I do apologize!
No need to apologize. It’s possible someone else may have / be in a similar predicament. Whereby the responses can be more helpful than hurtful.
