I have two female ball pythons, both picky eaters (one mice only, the other live hopper/small rat only) that have been off feed for about two months now... and I am starting to get worried. About the same time this started I began two colonies of ASF in the next room over. Is it possible they are smelling those and wanting them over their normal prey? Or am i just fishing for a reason when there isn't one to be found? I'm still pretty new to BPs but I have experienced the feeding issues before.
Background: Butter Ghost is about 1700 grams while my Enchi Spider is just under 1600 grams. They are both a two to two and a half years old and their first breeding season could/may be this fall. I have three other BPs in the same rack, one female and two males. All seem to be doing great and all are eating every week. No BP that I own, to my knowledge, has ever eaten an ASF.
