    My new Banana Ball Not Eating

    Hi All

    Early in September I picked up 3 new Ball pythons from the Doncaster show.
    2 girls and 1 boy. Both of the girls are eating fine without a problem but my Banana boy hasn’t eaten since I picked him up. They are all housed the same way and fed the same food.
    I have weighed them all and he is the same weight as the girls just won’t eat for me.

    Just asking for for a bit of advice if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

    Because they are all house the same way does not mean the husbandry works for everybody the same, some are more difficult than other and a little tweaking is often necessary

    You need to provide more info

    When was it purchase?

    How often you've been handling him?

    Exact weight (same as the girls does not tell us anything)

    Enclosure size?

    Exact temps (how (type of thermometer) and where they are measured)

    The more info the better.

    Seconding. We're gonna need more info to help. What works for one snake won't work for others, for whatever reasons.
