    Typically small ball pythons eat well. The reasons for failing is again typically either environmental or physical. Environmental could be any aspect of husbandry, or location. Physical is something wrong with the snake, like an illness or something else. I am assuming he is not showing any wounds or burns so I figured that a check to the enclosure and double check and make sure everything is ok there. this is not a criticism just trying to get as much information about the situation as I can to help you out, hopefully.
    so temp wise its about 75 to 80 ambient and about 89 hot side he is in a 12 qt tub with a hide and a water dish which is the only thing that can really fit.

    Humidity is around 50% i did check for RI issue about 2 weeks ago never saw anything signs.

    Also no wounds what so ever and from where I got him from was a very good breeder had all paperwork and how many times he ate shed etc. Also I never handle the snake and I mean never besides to clean out tub and change water dish

    I guess i could toss him into a smaller tub but that is going to be incredibly tight i think and I know they like tight spaces but there would def be no room for hide.

    O and no high traffic area very quiet actually
