Trouble Feeder

[JodanOrNoDan]

My spotted python is like your boy, except that sometimes she will strike when I offer prey to her in her enclosure. But if she doesn’t after one offer I get her out and we do the silly-snek hand-feeding routine.

I'm glad to hear I don't have the only oddball.

Is this normal? I finally got my boy to eat on Thanksgiving night after a 5 month fast. He did not take it from my tongs but I decided to leave it in the cage over night and put a dark towel over the entire cage.

I have now offered twice in the last month but both times he has not eaten. Any ideas what is going on? Just normal male and seasonal type thing?

Yep. Just keep an eye on his weight. I had one fast for eight months.
