    Thanks
    From what i heard from other bp handlers is that this is basically this is the life of a ball python and they just have tendencies to go off feed. I have also heard that they go off almost always during the breeding season now im not saying they all do but that is just what i heard. (especially if you have females and males close by). Its weird because i have a one that ate like a champ all the way from baby to 700g like a monster and now he is back off feed for almost 2 months just the life of a bp hope this helped a little. Nothing to worry though?
