Wow a blood python not eating for a year?? I only thought this happened with Balls? Anyway, he's still healthy and strong so I'll just be patient and try in a couple of weeks. I know the more I force it the more I may stress him out instead. I do see him drink water from time to time and he's maintaining bodyweight so I won't get concerned. He does have adequate an adequate hiding place so I think he's covered there. I guess I won't get alarmed unless I see some physical signs telling me otherwise. Thank you for the input.
