    He probably lost 6g because he ate shortly before you got him and now he is empty. its not that big of a deal unless he continues to lose weight.

    Mine hasn't eaten for about a month now. Sometimes they just don't want to eat and as frustrating as it is, there's nothing you can do about it. Just don't try to feed too often or you'll stress them out.

    Wait a week, try again, repeat until they eat.

    Nice sharing.
    I think you need to give your ball python time to get used
    to its new surroundings. It is most likely stressed.
    Try again in a week, and then in another week.

    Re: Not eating Help!!! :c

    Our first normal wouldnt eat for almost 2 weeks after we got him I wouldnt stress he probally just needs a little more time to adjust. I would wait and try to feed him again next regular feed schedule. Utnil then leave him alone and let him adjust it worked for us finally

    There is a chance moving into it's new home it could have gone into hibernation. However with the strange weather this year my BP seems to be a little delayed this year seeing as how he ate yesterday.

    My patel took 4 weeks before he would eat. He wa as only 80 grams when I got him so I was about to force feed. so I just kept to what people said here and waited every week and finally he are so just be patient even though its hats to do.
