BP not eating but also not losing that much weight

[Dylan_]

Alright I'll stop handing it. I don't think the prey is too big but rather it may be on the smaller side. The mouse is just a little bigger than the BP's head and it's about the same size as the biggest girth part of the BP.

Your best bet is to go off the chart taylor has provided. But yes i would start with no handling at all. Just doing regular spot cleaning and water change untill u get 3 sucessful feedings

Alright. By the way, is there a specific amount of days I should wait before offering it food again? And also, should I be worrying because the BP has only lose 5 grams in two weeks?

7 days.

at this size, any weight loss is important to note and shouldn't be happening; ball pythons at this age are practically garbage disposals.

any refusals are likely husbandry, prey or stress related, which means something within your control. that should be reassuring.

I wpuldnt worry to much its only 5 grams if it loses more the 10% of its body weight then id be getting concerned. If it doesent eat dont try again for 5 to 7 days i feed mine every 7+ days but babys i would do every 5.
