Baby Ball won't eat.

[dav4]

I read some snakes going a while without eating, how long can a 5 month old withhold without it harming him?

Thanks

A five month old bp is/should be growing rapidly, so fasting serves no purpose for them (unlike an adult entering the breeding season). Having said that and assuming good health, they can go without food for some time. Like Zombie, I suspect you've got a husbandry issue causing the snake not to eat. You didn't mention any hides in the enclosure...do you have any? How big? what else is in the enclosure and where is it? Maybe you could post a picture. Also, how often are you handling him? How often are you offering him food?
