Hello,
(Eating f/t rat)
My male ball python at 220g seems to have some pattern when refusing to eat.. When I offer when he is out of his hide, he does smell the rat and gets close to the rat but does not eat and just avoids it.
However, when he is in the hide and I offer the rat, he comes out and strikes it right away. When he does not eat, he just does not eat that day, even if I try later on when he is in his hide. Do you guys think that is his refusing pattern? I feed him at the same time of the day, same method. Anyone else's snake does this? I don't get his behavior at all..
From now, I will try to not feed when he is out but wait until he is in his hide doing nothing.. he ends up eating every 2 weeks when he should be eating every 1 week and gaining some weight lol.
