    Question Djinn's not eatin..... Why?

    Djinn is my normal, I think he's and 05' or even 04' .. I got him in 06' from a local petshop, they didn't know his age at all ( I know they were so helpful) but he is my first BP and he ROCKS!

    Ok on to the question at hand, last he ate was on 12/23/09.. He has done this before to me a few years back.. Not sure whats goin on, is he kinda bermeating?(SP)

    When I put the rat in (he eats live, and I watch) he checks it out but then jus goes back to hidin.. Should I be worried? Thank you in advance


    Djinn and my Lil one

    I wouldn't worry. He's a ball python and it is winter. If he isn't losing weight then he'll be fine.

    Nope, I wouldn't be worried at all. It's not uncommon for larger pythons to go off feed. All but one of my adults have been refusing for a while now. I would double check your temps, but it's probably just a normal seasonal thing. I keep offering at regular intervals, but there's no reason to worry right now.
