31 year old ball python

[bcr229]

I'll add one thing: snakes get old, & when they do, they eat less & shed less frequently. Your snake, if 31 years old, is elderly & most likely her appetite (& metabolism) have just naturally slowed down. You might think about feeding with longer intervals between meals, feeding smaller prey items, or maybe both, as a strategy to match what your snake actually needs.

This. I have a male BRB that is 25+ years old (he was an import so we're going by his estimated age when he was brought into the US). Up until last year he was an eating machine along with all my other BRB's. Last winter and now this winter he's started refusing so he gets smaller feeders but on the same schedule.
