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.
