You see why I was failing you all say they can go longer but others say they have to eat every week.

Experience takes precedence over care sheets any day. Would you rather have your car fixed by a mechanic who never studied the actual field, or a guy who read a few books and never fixed a car?

And no, shes not trying her best. She stated that since she got him he was being force fed, and STILL requires being forcefed, yet when you tell her to take him to a vet, she says that hes improving....Anyways, I'm wasting too much time on this thread.

Oh and thanks for the links. I took a little qoute from it I thought was interesting "Please do not buy into the myth that says a Ball Python can go for a year or more with out food! This belief is DANGEROUS TO YOUR SNAKE! Any snake that does not eat for more than a few of weeks should be seen by a qualified Veterinarian."

And the other website had one too, thats funny.... " If the snake begins to lose weight, speak to your vet and seek advice from experienced keepers. "

It is a bit too late . But at least its something. If you take anything from this think long and hard about getting another - do research and buy a healthy snake not one that comes with problems.

I know and whether others on here believe me or not have learned my lesson. Kyle was healthy when I got him and I plan to keep him that way. He has never had a problem with eating luckily. He loves to eat.

I don't recall if I posted in this thread or another but I will do so again...

I had a baby ball python, hatch out of the egg and refuse their FIRST meal for 4 months.

You fail at collecting information from proper people.

while i see a reason to fight for this snake. i don't see a reason for the comments to get this out of hand. yes there is caring of this snake and it should have seen a vet right away. but at what point do you lower yourself to these attacks and still call your self a good person?

I never want to hear about you doing that. That's just wrong.

You stop being a good person when you start attacking people on irrelevant issues. Of some one is lying or making excuses and you call them out there is no harm.
