Anyways, that being said maybe you need to do some more research before you buy a BP... It sort of sounds like you may not be ready for a BP if you are refusing to buy a BP because it hasn't eaten in 2 weeks. It's kind of common knowledge for a BP owner that their BP might not eat before or during shed or if stressed. If you want to buy a BP I would highly recommend buying from a reputable breeder if you are looking to purchase a quality animal/pet.
i have been around here researching and learning for about a month now. i set up the tank that the bp will be in and got everything set up and ready for him/her. the temps and hum are what they are suppose to be. so i think im ready to get the bp. the only reason i did not buy her was because i have been reading to not buy from pet stores, and that their snakes are sick and blah blah!. i was considering buying from a pet store because the employee said that the vets look at all their pythons to make sure they are in full health. but i was not sure of the eating part because of all that has been said here. the point is i am ready to take care of that bp for the next 30yrs. did alot of research and alot of reading and alot of talking with friends that own bps.
