First Fast Concerns

[EarthlyMaiden]

My Stevie is fasting for the winter this year. I'm not worried, because he hasn't lost weight, he's not dehydrated, he shows no signs of illness, and he got a 'well python visit' to the local vet not too long ago. My parents are, but since Steve usually lives in my dorm with me, they don't have a lot of interaction with him and don't know his habits.

He started in mid-December, so he's been off feed for approximately a month. I continue to offer him medium rats once a week, but he's still disinterested. Now, he didn't go off food last year(presumably because he was still relatively little), so this is my first experience with a fast.

Are there any things that I should watch out for while he's fasting?
Also, about how long do yours fast, if they do?

Thanks, EM.

Theres no real world time table Ive had them go from a couple of months upto the longest being 14 months. I wouldnt worry too much. When theyre off food I just offer every 2 weeks instead of weekly.

I don't know much about fasting, as I'm still relatively new. I would just suggest making sure all the temps are good, and that there are no other huge changes to her/his environment.
