off food?

[Lolo76]

Actually, the breeding season is getting underway now, so it could be a seasonal fast. Some of my males go off feed in the fall/winter, while the females tend to fast in the spring (and while gravid)... but it differs for every snake, as this year I had 2 males who fasted for 6 months from March-Sept. And I still have no idea why! That's just typical Python behavior, and I wouldn't worry unless the weight drops drastically - like 25%. And of course if he shows any signs of illness, such as respiratory sounds, mucus, lethargy, etc.

P.S. Wouldn't hurt to offer a live rat, as he might just be bored with f/t. You could also try feeding every 10 days instead, since he was used to eating less frequently... a 10-day schedule should be fine for an adult male.
