If you're worried, take him to a vet. If he's not losing TOO much weight, wait it out. I think snakes realize when they are getting too fat and go on hunger strikes to lose weight. I had a 1500 gram male stop eating for 10 months...then one day POW...took a rat like he never missed eating.

How big is the snake and what have you been trying to feed him?

Thanks,
Bill

Mine stopped eating in Oct. and all of a sudden started again at the end of june for no reason. Just bear with it.

Well,

The first thing you should do is when you write a post asking for help you should read the replies and then answer their questions. Than we can give you advise on how to get your snake to eat since you are doing something wrong and your snake is not eating.

Regards,
Bill
