Hey everyone!!
I have a collection of about 30 ball pythons made up of several different morphs. I have had some of these snakes 3 years, with the newest arrivals being maybe 9 months ago.
Here is what I am looking for help with; about 90% of the snake in my collection don't eat very reliable. By this I mean they may eat 3-4 weeks in a row then not eat for 2-4 maybe 5 months. Obviously they are not putting on weight like I would like but other then that seem perfectly healthy. Both males and females do this. I change their water 3-4 times a week, the cool side if 77-79 degrees with the hot side being 92-95, the tubs are cleaned as needed with a bi-weekly cleaning as a maximum, they shed completely most of the time....unless I fall behind on my water bowl filling or misting
They are kept in a rack system in a storage room what kept @ 75-77 degrees with the lights off unless I am in the room working so they are definitely not in a high traffic area.
I have feed them frozen thawed, from several different sources, strictly. I am wondering if I should feed them live occasionally to peak there interest and see if this get them going again.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Sorry for the long post.
Dave
