Thanks! He's an awesome snake all around.
He's floating anywhere between 1,000-1,100 grams. He ended his food strike a few weeks ago and hardly lost any weight. I'm happy with his body structure.
I tend to feed on a conservative schedule too, so he's doing well.

How long was his food strike? Mine is 5 yrs old and just went on his first food strike and it’s killing me he still looks good but won’t eat, I have thrown away so many bc I thaw them and then he won’t eat them

This year his was a bit shorter than last year. He went from mid March til the last week in May. Last year it was EXACTLY the same week that he started (crazy how they seem to "know") but he went til mid June.
You're pretty lucky if your boy has never gone on a feeding strike til year 5. That's awesome!!!
It doesn't even bother me anymore. As long as they're not losing weight I don't stress it.
I typically only offer every 3-4 weeks when on a strike. But I didn't even bother trying to feed him until he started peeking out of his hide at night. Once I saw that behavior 3 nights in a row I offered, and he took it right away. I'm gonna feed him tonight since he just shed.

Yeah, it can be stressful, especially after a few months. How often are you offering?

Yeah, it's such a waste if you don't have somebody else to feed
