Interesting read.
It is quite different than the typical advice given in regards to enclosure changes and modifications.
The opposite really. I might have to try this out to see if my feeding rates improve.

Be sure to record the data across the spectrum of your snakes, and list the data for peer review

Interesting hypothesis.
I'm curious if the seasonal causes for BP fasting is also related to the environmental symptoms you noticed in the wild.

Great write-up, Justin. Keeping things clean really pays off

Very interesting. Thank you! I just had a small female go off feed suddenly for two months. After I moved her to a different enclosure and did a bedding change after her shed she started eating again. She now gets into striking pose when she sees me when before she would just lazily watch the rodent go by her. Makes sense now.

This makes a lot of sense when I think about my BP. He's only shed once since I've had him, but that was also the only time he's pooped a full size turd. He also quit using the hide immediately after his shed/poop and moved to another one. Goes along with your article at least.
