I know there are hundreds of threads just like this, and by reading those threads I thought I might be prepared for when this happened to me, but here we are...
Today marks two weeks since my BP last ate, I know that's not very long for bps but I'm still concerned because he's starting to look a bit thin (not skinny yet, fortunately). He's around 5-6 months old & I've had him since the beginning of August, and up until now (excluding the first week or two when my husbandry was way off) he's been eating like a beast.
His temps are 89-91 on the hot side, 81-82 cold side, I've been having some small issues with humidity lately but it usually sits around 40-50%. He's not showing any signs of going into shed (and shedding has never stopped him before), and I believe he's too young to be fasting for breeding related reasons? (I'm not 100% sure how that whole thing works, but I think I've heard only breeding size BPs fast during the winter?)
I offered a small mouse last night because he has been cruising around the past few days looking for food, so I assumed he would be hungry enough to take the mouse, but he totally refused it. I used tongs to wiggle it around for him a bit because that usually works, but he was totally uninterested and instead kept trying to escape the enclosure onto my hand. After a while of trying I left the mouse in the enclosure over night and completely covered the exposed sides with a towel so it was completely dark inside. I woke up this morning only to find the mouse almost exactly where I left it but with a bite mark on it's belly.
I have no clue what could be causing this, even as I'm typing this he's cruising around the enclosure looking for food, if any of you have an idea your advice would be greatly appreciated!!
