I have owned ball pythons for 3 years now. I currently own 11 of them and I am having some issues with them. Currently, all of my snakes have no interest in feeding at all. I know of winter feeding problems as I have experienced them before, but I don't think this is the issue. Even my most consistent eaters are looking at their food as if its a rock or something. They have absolutely no motivation to eat and don't even seem to recognize their food as food. I have not changed my supplier for food in over two years. All of my snakes are in 41qt racks with belly heat, a constant supply of water and individual hides. I keep an oil filled heater in their closet keeping the area at an ambient of around 80-82 F. What the heck is going on? Any ideas? Some of them haven't eaten in 3-4 months and are losing weight.
