My snake I have had for about 6 months has been a great eater till about three weeks ago. When she just stoped eating. She is still active at night and loves to be handled. But she just wont eat. I moved her to my room where it is warmer to see if maby it was the cold or a draft by her tank there. So far she is ALOT more active but still wont eat. Any ideas?

Ball Pythons typically go off feed at this time of year. I remember the first year i had my Ball Python, he went off feed from November til the end of May, then he started feeding again. That was the longest fast he has had since i have had him. Keep an eye on her weight, and as long as she is maintaining a good weight, i wouldn't worry She'll start eating when she is good and ready.

Thank you I was getting worried because she usally ate one or two mice a week then hasnt for three weeks her weight is good though as far as i can tell he is still shedding also in this time frame too.

No prob they do it all the time dont try feeding everyday it will stress her or him,u can try once a week to see what happens but if it doesnt eat take out and try 5 days later but it does happen ive had them go off for 6 mths just keep fresh water in and it will be fine

I think it was to cold in our living room I moved it to the bedroom and a week later she ate two smaller mice just fine. Thank you all for your help
