Ball Python won't eat
I have a female ball python, will be one year in August. I have her housed in a Boaphile 421D. Warm side temp is at 90 to 95 usually, low side temp at 75 to 80, humidity at 50%. I was feeding her a feeder mouse once a week and then all of the sudden she stopped eating. She has not eaten in about a month. I've tried everything, live, f/t, brained and she won't take anything. She seems to be traveling around the cage looking for a way out. She is go to all corners, going around the glass, not sure if this means anything. What should I do this is REALLY annoying me? Thanks.

Bump your temps .... 82-84 on the "cool" side and 92-94 on the "hot". Cooler temps will catch up with you sooner or later.
A warm ball python is a hungry ball python.

Actually I just checked the temperature and that's what it is right now.

That's a good start, but are you sure that's what it is 24 hours a day 7 days a week? The min/max feature on digitial thermometers is perfect for checking!

Re: Ball Python won't eat
Follow Adam's advice and bump up to the high side on both and keep constant 24/7.
Adam knows, I couldn't get my bp to eat after trying everything possible and I followed his advice and within a week he was back to eating like a champ.
I have kept my temps up and he is now a regular eater.
Good Luck!
