The weight loss you describe is substantial and it would concern me, but I don't know how careful you were in weighing. Are both of those weights taken when your ball python was empty (of food and waste)? If not, that could easily account for the difference.
you know i dont know if he had pooped when i weighed him lol never thought of that.

Im going to wait 2 weeks before i try offering again. i will weight him the day before. if he doesnt eat ill weight in 2 weeks again and see if there is anything going on.

what is the max time when i should be worried
