my spotted python hasn't eatten in 3 months she hasn't lost any weight shes happy and heathy shes kept at 86f by a thermostat fresh water every 2nd day doesn't really get handled that much maybe once a week if lucky i've tryed everything to get her to eat she won't take dead only live food i have left the food in there for a couple of hours with me watching she just goes under the newspaper and stays there its coming into winter here and i've even done this it might be mean but i killed the mouse after wards i even made the mouse bleed and run around the enclosure it still didn't tigger her to eat my vet said she has just gone off food for a while like some female snakes do and she is maturity and i've been told there known to go off food shes 2 and half to 3 and half years old my neigbour he owns snakes and crocodiles said not to worry shes either preparing to shed or just gone off food i doubt shes shedding its been 3 months since her last meal i have 7 layers of newspaper a water bowl a hide and a rock. and as most of yous know i've got a female diamond python on the way and i hope my diamond isn't going to be like this spotted python i'm having some doubts to where i brought her from i've been talking on a australian python site all there spotted pythons arn't really feeding either, and i've told them the way i've kept my spotted and they think its not my fault she also has an light fixed to her enclosure for heat. what am i mean't to do stuff a mouse down her mouth that will cause more problems then what it is worth they say get a stool sample i can't get one if she isn't doing like they say it might be sick but its true you don't eat you don't do business and that is exactlly what my spotted isn't doing.
i'm being told its my fault my spotted python isn't eatting
