k i built my own tank its a 1' high, 4' long, and 2'wide . my ball python is about 2 1/4' long and she ate for the first two weeks i had here in and then she stopped eating. but it is winter here so i dont no what her problem is

any infromation would be helpful

thanks mark

Just keep an eye on her. If there is dramatic weight loss and her skin starts looking loose, take her to the vet.
I had a ball not eat for 5 months...he was fine.
One day he just went back to pounding medium rats with no issues.

Even piggy snakes like corns can stop eating after a cage change. make sure there are lots of nice cozy hides for him to hide in, and you may want to give him a week to settle in, no handling, just change water and paper as needed, then offer some food after the week is over. sometimes they need a little time to get used to the new surroundings. Snakes are creatures of habit, and it seems to wierd them out when we humans chnage their stuff around. he will probably be fine once he acclimates...
