Appetite Booster

My adult balls are going on hunger strike, anyone has heard/done something like this and add to their water? TIA

If their adults with good weight, no need to worry about it. Its winter and breeding season naturally for them.

Some snakes just do not eat during this time or will eat once a month.

Only thing that does help with increased appetite is Flagyl

Yea the only thing I would trust is Flagyl. Pythons are notorious for going on strikes....unless it has been a LONG time or the snake is not looking / sounding well then just keep on trying.

Cool, then keep waiting and trying it is....

What is Flagyl?

"Metronidazole eliminates bacteria and other microorganisms that cause infections of the reproductive system, gastrointestinal tract, skin, vagina, and other areas of the body. "

Main use in reptiles is to destroy the parasitic bacteria in the snakes gut so it can hold down food and in turn increases appetite.
