    Ball python won't eat

    so it's been two months since my ball python has eaten she has shed Once since then on the first of this month. She has only actually eaten twice since i picked her up. the only problem i can think i may have had is that when i bought her she was eating live weaned rats. i live in a small town and the closest place that sells weaned rats is an hour an a half away. instead i go to the local petco and buy the smallest small rat they had. She ate the first one no problem and ate the second with only a little reluctance but she has shown absolutely no interest since. I thought she may have shed wrong if someone saw early posts i made i was wrong she was just about to shed again and i didn't catch it. any suggestions would be a lot of help even someone just telling me when i should seriously start worrying about her not eating

    She's your 2010 girl right? I'm thinking she might have gone off feed since its getting colder out, but I'm not sure at what size ( if there is a specific size ) females start going off feed for breeding/winter.

    What are you housing her in?
