Childrens not eating.......

Hi all,
Its now 4 months since my 3yo childrens has eaten. I am not too concerned but is 4 months normal? She has a heater and comes out of the tank regularly. The strangest thing is she hasn't lost any size ,she is about a metre long and is quite active. She didn't eat for 3 months last year at this time but she was gravid. Anyone had the same experience?

Alot of snakes will go off food this time of year, even if they are still kept warm.
Give it time, she will eat when she gets hungry.

Same thing is happening with my housemates male coastal. He hasn't eaten for about 5mnths now and we've tried all the tricks in the book, all to no avail... we started to really worry but he is still active, healthy looking and hasn't lost any weight.
Just make sure there's always some fresh water available.
