    I would not worry. It is normal, and our female hasn't eaten since November. Just an FYI, those refusals included F/T, Live, and different types of prey including quail and chicks. When they shut down, they just stop no matter what you offer.

    She will eat when she's ready. We have seasonal food refusals almost yearly. It is part of owning a royal, and I'll bet the person on this board with the oldest royal python will say that particular python has refused for long periods and is very healthy.

    How old is the snake we are talking about here?

    Unless there is a husbandry related issue, or some other type of condition, your snake will regulate its own food intake and come back around in due time.

    I'd also recommend not trying to feed too often. At this point wait a week or maybe 10 days. Then keep offering every 10.
