I have a female Pied that refuses to eat. As much as this irks me, I know it is typical Ball Python. I also have a male Pastel Het Pied who refuses to eat. The combination is the source of my interest.

I have heard from other keepers/breeders that Pieds are notorious for their fasts and their pickiness. I would like a quick poll: How many Pied owners and breeders would consider their Pieds and Hets to be more likely to fast and/or more likely to be a picky eater over most other morphs?
