    Re: HELP! My Ball Python hasn't eaten in months

    Her activity level has been on and off, but usually only at night; then she's in the hides all day. She'll come out and crawl around at night.
    Do you know the kind of thermostat? I'm just wondering if maybe your temps are off. Does the thermometer have a probe that you can measure the hot side with?

    If the temps aren't it, it might be a security issue in which case moving her to a tub or a smaller tank might help. Alternatively you could throw a bunch of crumpled up paper in the tank to provide some cover.

    I had an adult ball python go on a hunger strike for more than 6 months. Before that, she was only eating sporadically. Since I got her she was a great feeder, it was just recently she decided she wasn't hungry anymore! I brought home a trio of ASF rats and the next day she took a f/t from me. This was about 4 weeks ago.
