should i be worried

[craig78]

hi
i have a 5 month old Coastal at home, fed once a week every thursday, she hasnt eaten in 2 weeks now, she also hasnt shown any signs of shedding, and she hasnt shed since i've had her. ive had her for 10 weeks now, should i be concerned.
thanks

No, no need to worry, it is common for snakes to go off their food coming into winter, and 2 weeks is nothing for a healthy python. She may even be coming up for a shed now, as thats another cause to go off eating.

People will no doubt ask what size feed you are giving her and what your hot/cold end temps are.

Feeding, no worries, shedding hmmm?
