    Wink Snake off Feed

    My ball python is almost two years old. I've had him since he was a baby. This is the first time experiencing him not eating. I was wondering if you all can give me advice on how to handle this situation. He has been off feed for about a month.

    As long as your husbandry is correct, just keep offering weekly. Eventually they just start eating again. My male didn't eat for 5 months, ate once and has been off for 6 weeks again. Female stopped later, and has been off for a few months.

    Have you changed anything about his husbandry? Or perhaps something nearby his enclosure?

    Don't let yourself get too worried over it unless you have reason to...it will eat when it's ready to eat again.

    Nothing has changed in his enclosure, or the room I have him in. I guess he just went off his feeding schedule. I knew it wasn't something to worry to much about, but I just wanted to hear what other ball python snake owners had to say. Thanks for all the information!
