Re: Feeding fast poll:
Mona went off feed for over 2 months, from August 11th until last week. It was most likely due to a temperature drop, followed by 5 weeks of breeding with Toby... but I guess the activity got her appetite going, because she's pounded multiple mice in the last two feedings. I was only offering mice because I figured she'd reject them (and my others only eat mice), so next week she'll get a nice big rat.

Re: Feeding fast poll:
I had 2 females that went off feed for just over 3 months temps were right they both have 2 hides one on each side same as the other 10 ball pythons that I have they just refused to eat I still offered them food every 7 days. They only lost about 20 grams so it wasn't too bad but the others gained hundereds of grams so it really sucks they are way behind now but both are back on feed eating every 7 days again so I am hoping they will make weight next year.

Re: Feeding fast poll:
I had my normal male go off feed as a juvie for 3-4 months. At the time I hadn't realized his cage was just too big for him and he was uncomfortable (he was my 1st bp and I was still learning). I still feel a bit bad for not knowing better at the time . He was an off and on feeder until he hit adult hood, now he doesn't fast much at all. (maybe skip a week or two once in a while)
My pastel male just got off about a 3 month fast and is feeding heavily

Re: Feeding fast poll:
4 months. My girls are complete opposites; Cu is a terrible feeder and goes on frequent hunger strikes, but Prospekt has never missed a meal. And then there's Sangre...
