BP not eating

[evy60]

I know snakes can go for a while and not eat...but ...mine has been really good until now ....never had a problem getting her to take the rat....now its been almost a month and she dosen't even act interested....comes to the rat and smeels it and then turns away.....she is 2 yrs old almost 4 ft......temps and humidity are fine and have done no environmental changes......should i be worried?

no need to worry until the snake starts to visibly lose weight. Welcome to Royal python ownership, LOL Get used to the feeding strikes... er, or the lack thereof [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

How was the last shed, and have you brought it the vet or checked for parasites, especially blood mites. Yes, but like the before said as long as it dosn't start to lose weight, and check it for dehydration. Hope she feeds soon! Try something smaller too, maybe she had a mood, my snakes change in hwat the prefer for food frquently.
