I was going to suggest a vet. Maybe parasites, or some other trouble inside (do snakes get cancer?).Originally Posted by CloudtheBoa
He's on EcoEarth, his current bedding does need to be swapped out so maybe some new bedding will help idk. I haven't seen any evidence of it helping in past fasts, but who knows with ball pythons? It seems his eating habits change daily, it's hard to keep up.
I don't think I'll rehome him with all the weight he's losing, but thanks for the offer.
I'm going to call the vet tomorrow and see what they can do. I'm just scared I'm putting his life in danger doing it because I've heard some horror stories, but at the same time he probably needs the resources that a vet can offer.
I probably need to have fecals, x-rays, and blood tests done. But before a fecal can be done he needs to eat however it's accomplished.

Are SURE the temps are good? Just wondering if maybe you have another thermometer to double check, incase the equipment is malfunctioning.
My third suggestion is a long shot, but everyone seems to be at a bit of a loss here anyway....Do you have a separate enclosure or tub (or another place in your living space) that you could move him to? Maybe something about his current enclosure, the people can't sense, is bugging him.
Good luck.
