    Re: Feeding Snag; What's going on??

Slowly, but he consumed it completely within an hour or so, and now today he's acting normal. Being reclusive but that's regular after eating behavior. I don't know what was going on. Hope it doesn't happen again.

    Thanks!
    I don't think it's anything. My python also has her "herp derp" moments from time to time too. The same thing has happened to me a few feedings: granted, not five hours long, but I've seen her sit there for 20+ minutes looking at her food before continuing. I always watch her eat and she has never seemed to mind it, so I think she either got lazy and fell asleep mid-snack or just taking in the surroundings for safety reasons. I wouldn't worry about it, ball pythons may occasionally act retarded as we may see it, but they have their mysterious reasons for their dramatic pauses
