I'm wondering if anyone out there is having similar issues with there pet?
I have a 4 year old Murray Darling Carpet Python who hasn't eaten in about 8 weeks, (not through lack of us offering).
We live in Melbourne and his cupboard is plenty warm enough, he is active and hunting for something to eat, but every time we offer him something, he turns his nose up at it.
He normally eats about every 2 weeks or so, unless he is shedding. In which case he will wait until about a week after has shed. Last time he ate was about 2 weeks before he shed and hasn't eaten since. That was about 6 weeks ago.
Things I have tried:
* Changing food suppliers
* Changing thawing techniques
* Offering smaller rats
* Increasing temperature slightly
I am running out of ideas and am now getting a little concerned. Does anyone have any advice???
Thanks in advance
