    Now, as for the OP. If he is a breeder male... It's still breeding season. Males go off feed for anywhere from 2 to 8 months. It's completely normal unless he starts to lose weight. My little 700 gram guy even went off feed this year. I keep offering him one every week, but he only eats about every 5-6 weeks. Enure that your husbandry is proper, and if he still does not eat and is not losing weight... he just wants a girlfriend
    Congrats Feeding that large of meals to BPs is Overfeeding . Just cause they can eat it dont mean they have to eat it. And 700g snake eating mediums is over kill and not needed.

    But what do I know...
