Quick questions re: non eating snakes

[BrandyL1193]

So I did a search about weight loss and didnt find an answer....my snakes last meals were Nov 30th and Dec 5th. Their weights started at 927g and 847g.....I just weighed them again and each has only lost about 10g....my question is....this is absolutely normal right? Another question...urinating. ..one hasn't urinated since Dec 10th (unless I forgot to add it in my phone).... and neither has pooped since their last meal... is this anything to be worried about or should I relax?? Thanks!

A 10g weight loss for snakes that size is nothing to worry about. That's just a tad more than a 1% loss of body mass and if they're not eating they're usually not pooping. Just keep offering food every 10-14 days and hopefully they'll get back on track soon. Best wishes.

Yes (about the normal) and yes (about the relaxing).

So my guys still arent eating normal....here are screen shots of my info for Rockey.......where do I buy live feeders? I guess its time to try that.

Relax, they will eat when they are ready. I had a male start back up last weekend after being off food since the last week of October. He's like clockwork, every year between Halloween and Easter he doesn't eat.

Both of my males have been fasting for about the same amount of time as yours so its a completely normal thing. Don't resort to live yet, just give them more time and they will start eating again on there on time don't worry after years of feeding these goofy snakes you get used to them fasting whenever they feel like it Lol. Keep us updated on your snakeys
