I've been reading quite a bit about ball pythons going off feed for breeding season, but none of the books nor material that I've read mention whether this is normal for babies. My ball female is about 6-8 months old and sitting at around 160g, and she's refusing to eat. I've always assumed that going off feed for breeding season is only normal for sexually mature pythons...or is this true for any age/weight? I seriously doubt she's sexually mature enough to breed...
I also fed her her first live mouse last feed, which was on December 5th...would this be enough to deter her from eating her regular f/t? Do I need to get some dirty mice bedding or something of the sort to get her back on track?
