    Off feed?

    So I have posted before my BP hasn't eaten in going on 2 months. She strikes at the prey but won't take it and some have suggested she is "hibernating" to my knowledge snakes really don't hybernate like Bears and other animals. Should I be worried? How long does this go on for usually. I feel her regularly and she still is muscular etc but I am worried, she was eating once a week for me before this. Any suggestions or knowledge from other owners would be much appreciated

    I wouldn't worry to much if its at a healthy weight and not losing weight.

    Some snake do go into brumation but ball pythons are not one. However many snakes of all kinds refuse to eat during the winter. Many people have similar problems with their ball pythons in the cold part of the year.

    Strange. I have a lemon blast that won't eat and a Bumblebee that won't stop eating. Problem is the Bumblebee is a male. I need my females eating well and getting nutrition.
