hello!!
so i have a just over 4 year old coastal carpet python who’s hasn’t eaten for just under 3 months now. she’s always been a great eater and has only ever refused food for short periods at a time mostly when coming into shed.
she’s still super active, drinking water and going between hides normally and acting normally but is just straight up refusing food and it’s starting to worry me a bit.
thinking of taking her to the vet as soon as i can but seeing if i can get any thoughts in the matter first so i don’t stress out as much.
i know they can refuse food when it’s cold and it’s freezing at the moment in SA but she’s never gone this long without food. her temps are all the same, i haven’t changed anything within her tank other then it needing a deep clean? i’ve offered her her normal rats, smaller rats, different coloured heads and even quails but no interest at all other than sussing them out.
any help is truly appreciated, i love her to bits.
