hi my python stopped eating about 3 months ago up till that time he has allways eaten no problem and shed perfectly he is very active at night and i think hes gone into breding mode how long should this last
you could always try fooling him into thinking the days are longer by leaving a light on for an extra few hours either in his viv or in the same room. have you changed anything in the viv or it's location? what are your hot and cold ends temps like?
the only light i have in the viv is a little red which i put on in the day just to get the temp up when i went on holiday the temp was let go down to 70 at night when i came back i made shure it returned to normal just over a week later he stopped eating.the temp during the day where he sleeps is 80f which its allways been, at night in that area it goes down to 77 or 78 thats at the cool end i have tried differant food everytime i open the viv he just wants to come out.hes about 20 months old and about 34 inches long he has lost some weight but he ate very well before he stopped eating.
it may be down to the colder ambient room temp where you feed him. been hit and miss with mine for a while now, they are only realy feeding in the vivs now...
Having the same trouble with Sherman. I have an assortment of rodents in the freezer at the moment for him. He'll take a small weaner roland if I annoy the hell out of him with it (almost to the point where it's tap dancing on his back). He strikes at it in anger and then once it's in his mouth kinda remembers that they taste nice, but put a nice warm, ripe mouse in front of him and he goes for it in a matter of seconds. Fussy little bugger but that's just royals I suppose .
