Well I though this would never happen to me, or at least with my current BPs because they are well stablished and usualy are very aggresive eaters. But my Male Lemon Pastel has decided to stop eating.

At first I found it weird because he didnt want to eat a week after his shed. Which they are usualy very hungry and agressive when they eat the next saturday after shed (I always feed saturdays). So that is 2 weeks he did not eat. The 3rd time I fed him, he ate. A small rat in the smaller side. The next week up he did not eat again. the next week again not eating. That is 2 weeks again. The 3rd week is up again today, he does not want to eat. Not even a mice and I even tried one of the weaned ASFs. Nothing...

Now I wouldnt be worried if he has and Older male, since I know they go off feed during breeding season. But he is just some months old at 500g! Is it possible he can go off feed at this age and weight because of breeding? Im very confused. I dont think this is why, but I have though about it. What makes it more confusing is the fact that I have yearling 800g Male Axanthic and he is eating fine.

All my BPs are in 28qt tubs with flexwatt heattape controlled by a ranco. The 3 I have here sit next to each other and share the same heat tape for many months now. The temps are fine, hides, etc etc. The other BPs are doing just fine.


This is him some weeks ago, not sure how long, but cant be that long.


Most recent one, you can see by the date stamp.


So as you can see he has been doing great just up until these last weeks.
