| I have recently purchased a ten foot burmies python. He is a big baby with absolutely no attitude problems. which seems to be a rarity in large constrictors. The owner said he ate well and once he started he would eat anything i put in front of him. So I believed him. I have had him for over two months now. He has not eaten once for me. I have had him checked out by a vet, he seems to be a healthy snake. His current enclosure is a little small, but a larger ten foot enclosure is in the make right now. His heat is exactly as it should be, 14 hours day heat, 10 hours night heat. He has a water bowl big enough for him to curled up in. I am completely out of ideas! I have never had this problem with any of my snakes before. I know that pythons can be very picky eaters, and go long periods of time without eating. This i crazy though. Any help to save my snake will be most appreciated. Thank you!

| most times snakes dont eat because one stress or temps are to low, you said your temps are perfect but didnt mention what they where. what are the temps you have for him. snakes cant be anorexic lol they are not like people.

I wouldnt be too worried unless you notice a drop in weight. I know my big female ball python will go almost for a full winter without eating. every now and then she may eat a large mouse. But she makes up for it when spring and summer rolls around.
Green Tree Python's and Blood Python's ROCK!!!

Most snakes will do this when entering a new home, still getting used to their surroundings. Dont be to worried unless it turns into a slithering skeleton.
