Is he sick?

[krystalrose2]

I recently bought my first ball python about 3 weeks ago. And he fed for the first time last almost 2 weeks ago, which was the 2nd of March. He did a great job on the fed.

However since then he has not been seen at all outside of his hide. He stays in his hide and doesn't come out at night or during the day.

He's in a 20 gallon tank. With a hot side of 80-85 and a warm side of 70-75. He never leave the hide that is placed on the hot side.

He shows no signs of mites...and does not sound like he has a respritory infection.

He is feeding on live mice...as he refuses pre-killed since he has always been fed live in the past.

My question is this...to us he is not showing any signs of wanting to feed...the thing that we are afraid of is putting a live mouse in there and him getting hurt if he is possibly sick. Should we try and feed him as tomorrow will be exactly 2 weeks since the last time he fed and I don't want him to go off feed for too long?
