Fasting?
Ajaxx My Ballpython is a pain in my rump. I dont understand what his deal is, for a ball he is rather grouchy all the time and takes about a 45 mins for him to relax and decide he isnt going to strike once I take him out of his tank.
Any way the real purpose of this thread is Ajaxx tends to be a rather picky feeder... not what he eats... but rather when he eats.. I try and feed him once a week on saturdays... but we have been having a repetitive occurance of deciding when he is going to eat... I still havent been able to convert him to f/t, but I have got him to eating fresh killed, but that is expensive at $3.50 a rat and him not eating it and then it having to be tossed. But I just realized I havent stated the problem exactly yet. He will eat fine for 3, 4 maybe even 5 weeks straight... then all of a sudden decide he doesnt want to eat for a month or 2...
Why is he doing that, i live in florida, and his temps and humidity are both good.. Now the last time he didnt eat until he had shed... but he stopped eating 2 months before he had shed... now it has been 3 or 4 weeks since he last ate and that seems to me to be a very long time before shedding to hold of on eating. Maybe this isnt unusual but I dont like it... lol Any help on either of my problems would be much appreciated

. Definatley continue to try and switch him over to f/t. Maybe he just isnt hungry, but Im not sure. As long as hes not looking thin and youve checked him for parasites he should be fine.
