male BP lost interest in food

[Kaorte]

A male can start looking for some lovin' around 300g.

How many hides does the snake have? What size tub is he in? Sometimes they can just be picky.

mine was on rats and when he started refusing them I switched back to mice and it got him eating again.

it *could* be normal seasonal fasting but it's worth a shot to switch his food

could also be cause he is going into shed .. some dont eat in shed

He is in a 32qt Sterilite.

All of my snakes will eat through shed with no issues. It may just be seasonal...i'll try some live prey and see what happens. Thanks for the comments all!

You could try moving him to a smaller tub or giving him two hides and see if it makes a difference.

If not then its probably just that time of year.

Furio just went off feed himself for a couple months. Didn't lose any weight though and thanksgiving night I figured I'd give him another go and he was back to his normal fat hungry self. Sometimes they just don't wanna eat

Well I hope this is the case with mine! He normally eats like a champ! I'm going to try live prey tomorrow...hopefully he takes that. Otherwise it sounds like it may be a long winter.

I offered both my male and female live today...they both refused. Neither of these two have ever missed a meal until now. She is 2 months younger than he is, so I really doubt she wants to mate. Is this normal?

[DemmBalls]

he decided to east last night! I offered him a large live mouse instead of a rat. Hopefully he keeps feeding for me now!

He's in the mood but not to eat. It's that time. I wouldn't worry excessively about it unless he begins to loose wt.
