Question Feeding Question

Ok, I bought a regular Ball python adult male off a friend that works at a pet store. I feed him a medium rat every 2 weeks, because thats what the guy told me he fed him when I bought him, so Ive had him since June 06. Should I be scared if he hasnt shown the slightest interest in his meal. He has been 3 weeks since he ate last. I think I am blowing this out of proportion, but I want to make sure, he seems fine except for him not eating. He shed a couple of weeks ago, so thats not why he isnt eating.
Thank You
Joe

Joe,

No, I wouldn't be scared unless he shows a significant amount of loss in body condition. Ball pythons go through fasting cycles pretty often.

Regards.

Dan is right, I don't have a ball python that eats consistently through the year. I have one that goes off feed for about 6 weeks. This is normal so don't stress.
