|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Feb-06 Location: Queensland | | | | G'day dazza74, this question is frequently asked? pythons can go very long periods without food there are reports of up to and over a year. Don't panic about it as long as she isn't loosing condition she will be fine. You will see that she will change her attitude towards food very soon, I don't know where you are located? but the weather is warming up and this will kick in her desire to feed. I would still offer her food but don't stress about it if she doesn't eat it ok. Hope this helps a little ?

Nothing to worry about.

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Dec-04 Location: Somewhere near Brisbane | | | | My adult Diamonds that I keep outside have been eating right through the winter, the male has never refused a feed but the female is more fussy. I only give them little meals though. 3 months or more without food is no problem at all as long as they are healthy.
