My 7 year old ball, went on a fast, for 9 months. I tryed everything with no luck. I even took him to the vet twice. Today 9 months later he's eating, he lost about 20% of his body weight, so I hope he recovers. At leat I can sleep easy tonight.

I am sure he will gain it all back and then some. Be prepared for him to do it again next year. Most balls go off food for winter.

Congrats!
Is this the fist winter your snake has gone on a long winter diet?
How about sending some of that good luck my way? Both my snakes are still looking at rats like they've never seen them before or ever care to again. They just sit there and stare. One of mine even retreats to her hide.

This is the first time. He stopped for so long, and 3 months before he stopped, he haden't been eating well.
