I s'pose you've read the care sheets and know they go off feed for months sometimes?

I agree with dangerously. AND.. 75 degrees is low for a Ball. I hope this is a nightime temperature. They need more heat than 75. Your Ball Pythons look a little beat up. What is with the marks down the spine? Are those scrape marks? Mouse bite marks? Or burn marks? Why don't you be a reponsible pet owner and get care information? Two weeks is not long for a Ball to stop eating.

My ball is going on 4 months without eating. Just relax and offer other food items. It hasnt worked for me yet but maybe it will work for you. I have now put mine in a dark and low traffic area and will have him there for 2 weeks then will offer food again. Try gerbils if you can get them. Also read old posts that gave ideas to me when i asked a while back or e-mail me and i will share some info i have learned. thomasboxertko@yahoo.com

Try offering other food items then you are now. My ball is going on month number 4 so dont worry too much on 2 weeks without food. e-mail me and i can share what i have learned and tried with mine. I have now moved mine to a dark and smaller cage to see if that works. thomasboxertko@yahoo.com
