Snake suddenly being stubborn eater
My 2-ish year old spotted python has never once turned down a meal. He last ate two weeks ago on wednesday, a normal adult mouse. Last friday I tried to give him an XL mouse I had since it had been 10 days at the time since his last feeding, and he turned it down. Today (2 weeks from his last meal) he refused another XL mouse. He has eaten XL mice from this same batch before, but suddenly doesnt seem to want them. He comes up to smell them and expresses interest but then just slinks back.
I cleaned his cage between his last meal and now, but the husbandry has remained the same. Tomorrow I am going to get a normal adult mouse, and probably try to feed him that on friday. If that fails I will try a brained adult mouse. Last resort is I will try to feed him live I suppose. Any input is welcome and appreciated!
Also, he seems to have picked up this weird habit of laying behind his hide on the warm side rather than laying inside the hide. This seems to have started after cleaning his cage.
