I posted on the general python board last week that my 1 yr old ball hasnt eaten in over 4 weeks, now we are on 5 weeks - I am not trying to stress about it since I have been reassured with the colder weather/ barametric pressure change ,this is normal... but he has gone from a consistant weekly feeder to not interested and runs away from the rat (we feed live) really bothers me!! ... the thing that is confusing to me is his level of activity... I would assume with his lack of eating / cooler temps outside- that it would be time to hide in the hole and hibernate... not the case... he is so active even in the AM and throughout the day.... this behavior seems abnormal to me. I had him out last night to soak as he is turning blue, and he was just cruzing all over the place that i had to hold him down in the tub to soak... he just cant be still...
So, just wondering if this over active behavior has been seen amongst others, the signs are the same as when he is hungry/ hunting... but he is still refusing food....
I have a call into a new vet... the one I had originally been referred to is no longer in practice, so now I am also trying to find someone that does reptiles here North of Seattle... any referalls are greatly appreciated.. i dont mind travelling a little to a good vet...
Any insite/ suggestions are greatly appreciated....
