My adult male western has been off feed for at least 2 months maybe a little bit longer and I am putting all of my snakes down, today as a matter of fact. I do not have a weight on him but I am not to concerned. I have had him for 4 years now and he is ALWAYS my first snake to quit feeding. I used to stress about it, but not anymore. Now when he quits feeding I go ahead and turn off all of his heat sources and just let him sit at room temp until I put all of my snakes down. Sure enough every spring he begins feeding like a hog again.

On a side note, since I have noticed this pattern of behavior I have begun feeding him a little bit more come late July and August just to give him that added weight.

Good luck, but I think he will be fine.
