    Re: Should I be worried?

    Ball pythons are known for goin of feeding, even upto a year is not uncommon especially during winter/breeding season, there were even 2 cases of ball pytons goin off food for 22 months which is almost 2 years now im sure they were adults and not babies, now i stick to a strict feedin schedule:
    babies/yearlings - offer food every 5-7 days
    1 year olds and up - offer food every 7-10 days

    now i say offer food becuase if they dont eat they dont eat and get food offered the next scheduled day, if you have a snake who didnt eat and u keep tryin everyday this will stress him out, another thing is you should weigh your snakes i weigh my snakes before every food offering that way i can see if they are losing weight, if your snake isnt eating and losing weight then you have something to worry about


    like someone previously mentioned check the enclosure make sure everything is where it needs to be, and i think i saw u said he/she was losin weight . . . how much weight in how much time?
    Cheers!
