He hasn't eaten since April. Still looks okay and behavior ok. I know they stop eating during breeding season. He's not breeding (no females) and not eating. I'm nervous but how long can he go? Six months? I know boids are famous for going long periods without eating. Should I not worry until end of summer when he needs to eat before the winter? As long as he gets a handful of mice in him before winter he'll be ok?

Thanks!
