Carpet Python Questions

[EL-Ziggy]

Do your carpets go for an extended period of time without eating?

The owner said she would be staving by now and hasn't eaten in 2 weeks. Then said she was in shed. It's been about a week since I've owned her, she has no cloudiness in her eyes, and still refuses to eat. These hamsters are starting to get their cage smelling bad and I don't want them in the house lol but is this normal Carpet Behavior?

A couple of my carpets will take a food break for a month or two during the winter months or breeding season. It's not uncommon. Double check and make sure your temps are dialed in. If you're all good there then no need to worry sometimes they just take a while to acclimate to a new environment. I had a young carpet that didn't eat for the first 6 weeks that I had her and she was only 100g at the time. Your girl could also be in the final stages of a shed. Their eyes will clear up after the blue phase and they'll usually shed a few days after that. In any event, two weeks without food is no big deal. Try her again in a week or two and hopefully she'll eat for you. She's obviously a well established feeder at that size.
