Eating Every Other Week

[Skiploder]

I've noticed Kallista's eating habits lately. Seems she'll only eat her meals every other week. She ate last week. Tried to feed her this week and was only interested in coming out of the tub and chilling w/ me.

Is this fine/can I just continue to feed her every other week instead of wasting more rats?

And besides the snake not growing as fast- is there really any downside to feeding it once a month? (I'm not going to do that, but I have a friend who used to have a python and she fed him 1x a month. Apparently he was 5 feet(probably a female then, she never had it sexed) and she only had to give him away because she was going to college and couldn't take him with her)

But any major downside feeding 1x a month as opposed to every 5-7 days(besides the growth rate change)
And is it fine to just feed Kalli every other week?(since that seems to be when she eats)

If all your husbandry parameters are correct, and your snake is in good health, I don't see where you have any control over the situation. If she's only eating every two weeks then she's only eating every two weeks.


How long have you had Kalli and what were her feeding habits before she decided to skip every other week?
