Hi, this is the first winter i've had with my ball python and i know that they are problem feeders so as she's stopped for the last 6-7 weeks i've not been to concerned but the weight seems to be dropping of her, just hoping someone might have some helpful advice to get my girl back on track !
many thanks
Kenny,
This is also my first winter with my ball python and mine has stopped eating or slowed down too. I would recommend getting her weighed to establish a baseline weight to know how much she is losing. If you don't have a scale, call a vet. Some vets will allow you to just bring it in for a weighing at no charge. Continue to offer food weekly. Check your temps and humidity. I'm not sure how much weight lose is acceptable. Maybe someone else on this forum and offer some advice on that. If all else is good, then you may have to wait till she starts eating. It can be frustrating but it seems to be normal for ball pythons.
