    Is my snake okay?

    My boyfriends snakes eating habits hasnt lately been so good. I'm just wondering if her eating is something to be worried about.

    Here it is


    Nov. 27 ate a small rat
    Dec. 04 ate a small rat
    Dec. 05 weighted in at 784 grams
    Dec. 09 ate a medium rat
    Dec. 14 ate a medium rat
    Dec. 18 ate a medium rat
    Dec. 22 ate a medium rat
    Dec. 28 rejected a medium rat
    Jan. 01 weighed in at 952 grams (keep in mind she didn't eat for about 10 days so this weight can be empty)
    Jan. 05 rejected a medium rat
    Jan. 13 ate a medium rat
    Jan. 18 ate a medium rat
    Jan. 25 ate a medium rat
    Feb. 02 weighed in at 952 grams (Now really sure why she didn't gain... she ate 3 times before this weight)
    Feb. 04 rejected a medium rat
    Feb. 12 rejected a medium rat
    Feb. 19 rejected a medium rat
    Feb. 27 rejected a medium rat
    Mar. 01 weighed in at 908 grams

    So only lost 44 grams in 2 months. But I still want you opinions. Thanks

    My male pastel refused for 8 weeks straight, then took a small mouse one week and is now refusing again. He's lost at least 100 grams...I wouldn't worry, they do this often this time of year.

    In the wild I'm pretty sure they are like a gator or croc... in captivity gators and crocs will not be fed during the off season,(Winter Months)

    Think about what your snake does all day.... sleep move a little and sleep some more !

    Correct me if I am wrong but I see this as normal.

    Seems pretty normal to me. I don't think you are doing bad if she is eating a medium rat every 5 days or so. My adult male will eat a medium rat every 2 weeks or so. They can go off feed this time if year. They just like to stress us out, they will survive though.

    It's just so odd when you have two normals side by side and one eats like a pig and the other refuses every week for 5-6 weeks straight... and they both have the same temps and the same hide system... woman are so difficult to understand sometimes... X/
