Hello everyone, I'm new here but have been reading up on the advice given for pythons who/which are not feeding. As those posts and replies mainly seem to concern being off food in the winter, would the same advice stand for summer? She has currently not eaten since 29/12/16 which is uncharacteristic for her.
Details - 2 yr old Stimsons, sex unknown (we say she/her). We have had her for exactly 1 year and she is very well natured, seemingly healthy and usually eats one hopper rat per week, about to go down to to one adult mouse every 10 days. She sheds well and regularly and can take from a few days to 2 weeks to do so and hides during these times. When not shedding she is keen to come out and be inquisitive. Her enclosure is 3x2x2 ft and has a 32 - 26 deg C gradient.
Daylight hours are periodically adjusted as per the seasons - side question: should we also adjust temps down a bit in winter?
I know this has all been covered before, so please just tell me the same advice applies to both winter and summer non-eating if this is the case, that will save you all the deja vu. Thanks in advance, Rob
