I have a blood python that has not eaten in a year. Same deal, shows interest and then nothing. I see her drink water but thats it. She had not lost any body weight for a long time. I just now started seeing a little loss. I have heard about this with Ball Pythons but did not think there guys where the same. I could be wrong.

A month of not eating should be no issue. I have retics that stop in October and will not eat again until Feb, I have a Boa that stops in November and will not eat until Feb and a Ball python that stops in October and will not eat until March. Its frustrating but the more you get frustrated with it the more you will frustrate the snake. Give it a few weeks and try again. If it does not take, give it another couple weeks. You should also see signs, like when you are thawing the rat out that it starts to look for it. It could also not feel secure. does it have new hides. Just my thoughts. Good thing is it did eat in the new cage.
