None of my males are off feed but all my breeding females are! Usually males go off feed on their second winter at about 800 grams and can go from 1 month to 3-4 months! I have heard cases of males going off feed for 6 months! If they are big enough and they don't lose alot of weight then it is perfectly fine!

I've had a 2 year old ball python male go off feed for 6 months. Currently one of my females is on a 4 month streak and another is on a 3 week streak. I don't worry though, just a part of owning ball pythons.

Re: Youngest Off feed?
My year old fire male went off feed after breeding for 3 months.
He was breeding 3 females at 650 grams and dropped below 600 grams and I pulled him for a few weeks and got him back on feed with 3 good meals and now he's back in rotation and breeding away and eating still.

Got a fire male that has been off food for about 6 weeks and he's only 6 months old...I'm thinking it's something environmental causing it so we'll see. PS he isn't nor has he bred anything.

My youngest was a six month old male. He was a great feeder and it went off feed for 3 months. No clue why. He wasn't breeding at all. This year the only one not eating is a tough feeder male (the mojo), so I can't say I'm surprised. Last year my pastel male, who was breeding, was off and on, but not too bad.

All my Males right now are off feed. Youngest is a 5-6month old Male. But its more due to them living in the garage and when we got our 1st cold well more like a cool snap here in Florida most of my snakes started their winter thing. The Females how ever keep pounding food.
