Hi. I need an advise. My female ball python is in a well dimensioned rack (36x18x16) with proper temps ( 90 degrees to 84 degrees. - heated by an heat panel) and humidity( 50 - 65). She has enough hides, repti chip and plastic flowers.
I got her in february with 160 gramm. She was born on October the 31th 2016. Now she has 810 gramm. In the beginning I fed her an adult mouse all 5 days, then a 50 gramm rat all 5 days, since a few months with 80 gramm rats all 7 days. She developed a strange feeding habit. After shedding she will eat 4 or 5 weeks( weekly feeding) in a row, then she poops after holding it quite a few weeks, then after the pooping she stops eating for about 4 weeks, then she starts shedding, where she also does not eat. After the shedding she again starts eating for about 4 or 5 weeks (80 gramm rat weekly) then she poops again and all will start again. is this just a strange habit or what will cause it??
