Spotted python

[redelapid]

Hi everyone i have just bought my first python and i am keeping it in a 90cmx45cmx45cm enclosure kept at thirty degrees(on the warm side) It has had approx 5 pinkies since it hatched and 2 weeks ago it shed and since then it hasnt eaten anything. Note: it has definetly shed and has gone a week or two without food maybe its not hungry or is it unhealthy for it to go without food for that long. Another thing i am considering is it may be because of the could weather?

Is this normal or is there something wrong with my snakes health.

what size tank was it in when you picked it up as a hachie it will be more comfortable in a click clack as they like small spaces.

The enclosure is causing it to stress and stop eating, What you need to do is set ti up the same way it was when you picked it up and DONT handle it at all untill its eating on a regular cycle!
