Off feed?

[MontyAndMelissa]

Monty had never skipped a feeding, ever. Today is feeding day, and she won't eat. She just got done with a healthy shed a few days ago.

Skipping 1 meal is nothing just offer again next week if it persist (several feeding refusal) then can start assessing if there is anything that needs to be done, right now it's just a skipped meal..

Welcome to owning a Ball Python. I've gone through a couple of months of hunger strikes with a couple of my BPs. Then, they just go back to eating like normal. It is what it is.

The most important thing I can suggest is always keep track of when you feed, when the BP refuses, when he sheds and how much he weighs (I weigh after shed and poop so I always get the empty weight). Personally, I use iherp.com but the only drawback is that they don't have an app :/

I'm just a concerned mom. I only have her and a chameleon who is new. Maybe she is jealous.

Or she wants to try chameleon for dinner.

No way in hell that's happening. That's one expensive meal.

What kind of chameleon is it?

Many years ago I had a similar problem with my Albino Royal ( Ball ) python who used to eat everytime without fail - without going into too many details she stopped feeding for about 3 months !
She was perfectly fine and healthy and wasn't losing weight . I panicked at first but when I checked online and discovered that it's just something that all snakes can go through for whatever reasons and Royals / Balls seem to do it more than others apparently . I also learnt that the record for going without food was held by Royal / Ball python and it went for 21 months without eating !!! It then restarted and was fine afterwards ..
Anyways , If it looks healthy enough and isn't sneezing / wheezing and isn't losing weight - I wouldn't worry at all .
