bp acting weird help me out

[kwit]

Alright ive had this girl for about 1 1/2 years now she has never really acted like this before. ok one day i was sitting here on the computer and i turned around and saw her in the corner of the tank star gazing. Ive never seen her do this before. so i figured i just watch her and see what happends b/c she didnt really seem to act any different and the breeder i got her from said that its in there genes and that doesnt mean shes sick. so a couple weeks after this she began to have a reduced feeding responce. until she decided she didnt want to eat for a few weeks. I was loking her over and she looks fine ie clear vents good sheds execpt for her eye cap problem she has.. no matter how high the humiity and how much i soak her she always retaines every otehr sheds eye caps. Anyway she fasted for about 3 weeks and i got her to eat a small rat and she fasted for another 2 weeks before i got her to eat a small mouse (i just wanted her to eat somthing) and then she fasted for about another 3 weeks before yesterday when i got her to eat a nice size rat. ive clean and sanitized her tank and turned up her heat a little on recomendation of my local breeder/shop after i told them about one time when i heard her making a clicking noise.. not really weezing but a cliking noise. ive cought her start gazing maybe a dozen times since this whole thing has started. she isnt s active as she used to be, she used to explore all night and make all kinds of racet sliding downt he sides of the tank. but now she stays on here heat alot more. cold side is like 87 and warm side is like 94. no visable mouth rot and when she yawns i dotn see any mucus or white spots, no mites/bugs i keep her tank clean. should i take her to the vet? or is she just being stuburn? sorry about the novel but i just wanted to give details and see what you gys think before i drop 60 bucks on a vet visit

It could just be because its winter? That is my guess.
It isn't unheard of for ball pythons to be picky eaters. :/

yea but what would expanin the star gazing? this snake ALWAYS was my best eater. last winter had no probs. not doing anything different. i was getting nervous tho until she eat yesterday she was losing a little weight. what do you think? hold down the fort for a little bit or tak her to the vet? my concern is a RI. feces look normal aswell

How big is she? When you said the breeder said "it is in their genes", that got me thinking it's a spider...is she?

i see a few people kicking around at 2 in the morning eh? good stuff nice to know im not the only one

[dreese88]

yea it slows down a bit after a certain time...I'm usually stranded here by myself at this time..but hmm..do you know a weight...it might be that this year she is feeling ready to breed and the breeder size girls will do that some times. thats all I can really think of...what is your humidty? your temps look spot on, maybe a little high on the cool side, but you never mentioned that.

If it is so out of character for her to be behaving this way then I'd take her to the vet.......
