feeding

do ball pythons go off food this time of year.? mine wont eat for 3 weeks now

Well I guess it could start at this time. Just like i tell everyone who comes into work with snakes not eating, keep track of their weight and until the start losing weight i would not worry about it, keep offering them food.

ok i was just wondering sometimes he acts like he wants food then turns away from it

Hell i just fed all mine tonight and my huge female turned food down.....so did my pastel....sadly enough. But my brazilian ate two massive rats lol.

You could try offering a smaller-than-usual sized meal. That sometimes sparks interest in a finicky eaters for me and gets some of mine back onto feed after fasting.

To answer your question, though, this isn't really the right time for them to go off feed. Ordinarily, the males will go off feed during the winter months when breeding season is in full swing. They can breed at any time through the year, though, so if you've got mature males exposed to female pheromones, that could be causing it.
