    I don't think I catch what size and type of prey you are feeding.

    I have a male too. He started fasting when he turned about 2 years old around winter time, on and off since then. So yea, I completely understand the frustration lol. But it is like most keepers say, they will eat when they want to and an average wait is usually around 6 months.

    I would cut back to offer biweekly or every 3 weeks.

    I usually don't change anything until the 4 or 6 month mark. You can try downsizing the tub, change hides into something more 'snuggly,' or try offering mice if you fed rats. Some swear by the mice trick, it worked for me once before then never again, so who knows. As a last resort, try offering live prey, ie offer a small, small rat instead of the usual bigger size, and supervise closely.
    Yeah I offer anywhere between 10 to 15 days .. I just observe them .. you can trim when they’re interested in food especially the Royals .. imho
