he seems active but less then normal he hasnt eaten since around mid march and its getting warmer and he isnt eating should i got to the vet at all maybe he has an internal problem he has pooped recently liek a few weeks ago he has no specific cage temps i use a light for warmpt and this is the first time he hasnt eaten he is in a 20gal long and he is about 30 inches long so should i try the vet he seems darker and his belly is pinker then normal

his cage temps are about 95 and in teh hot spot its over 100 and it has been like that since day1

You need a cool area in the low 80s so it can thermal regulate. If the cool area is 95, that's too hot of an environment for the BP.

The darkening & pink coloration of belly sounds like it's going into shed. And as for not eating for 8 weeks..... I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it's loosing a lot of weight. It's not unusual for them to fast for several months. Just offer food periodically and when it does feel like eating, it will. Good luck.

My male BP hadn't eaten since late January. He just refused, but he didn't really lose much of any weight. He ate for the first time since then last week. He's in good health and everything, but balls sometimes do that. I have heard of many that fast during the year, usually in winter time.
