All the same one told he’s 1 years old. Now if I can just get him to eat it would be perfect! Do you notice any health issues from pictures? Sorry I’m new and wanna make sure he looks healthy

Looks healthy to me. He looks bigger than a year old

Edit: the picture of him on the white sheet/ blanket looks like he might have some stuck shed but that could be the lighting

Yes he’s a big boy. The breeder I got him from said he was a little over a year, and 800 grams

I would say you have a female. Thats a big ball python to be a 1 year old male. 90% of eating/health issues are husbandry related. They need 1)proper temperatures, 2)security (dark, hiding places, they are shy, covert ambush predators, as well as covert prey) 3) good humidity levels.

Did the breeder say what the snake was eating? Also, what's his name? I don't want to keep calling him "it" or "he"
