What are your temps like. Just curious, because mine did the same thing, and after another month (total 3 months), I took him to the vet and he had RI. He started eating after he got his shots. How old is the snake.

I did not do this for my burm and was advised she was at breeding age as well, and off feed for 3 months and she died.

Not saying that they do not go off feed, but it is somthing to watch out for.

My Ball Python goes off feed like clock work in Oct until late April, May.
