Stubborn IJ
Hey everyone, just looking for some input here.
My carpet has decided to become a stubborn feeder recently.
Its been about just over a month now, but he has remained nice and fat and active. His only concern seems to be getting out of his tank. The minute I open the door he makes his way out.
He was recently moved to a larger pvc enclosure (24 h, 24 w, 36 L). His hot spot is 90-93 * and the other side never lower than eighty. I use a daytime spot light on the one side, and a red night time light. He has a large water dish on the cool side and plenty of branches.
He's coming up Id say at about two years old now. I know ball pythons will sometimes decide to not eat, does this hold true for carpets as well? Is it possible that he wants to breed or something?
Up until now he was taking a f/t rat or two every 6 days. I have recently tried live, which he did show interest but still didn't take. My next step is going to be a fecal just to ensure everything is ok but if anyone has experienced anything similar, it'd be great to hear.
Thanks!
Nick
