Re: She didn't eat :(
Would not stress out about her trying to get out of her tank at night. They are nocturnal . A lot of times I get up in the middle of the night for a drink or something and both our Pythons are roaming all over the place. It is normal behavior for them to explore . Maybe she just feels safer when the house is quiet to roam around. I am sure it has nothing to do with her not liking you. The fact remains that even captive bred , they have natural instincts to hunt and roam and go where ever they please. From what I am hearing her behavior is quite normal. As for the feeding , like someone said before they has a snake that went 11 months . Make sure she has lots of fresh water , and is drinking it. As I was told when I was concerned , as long as she is not losing weight and staying hydrated , she will be fine.After several months , then maybe some cause for concern or look at what might be wrong. Ball Pythons are easy snakes but they are finicky too. Our older female , she never turns down a meal. Our little guy is hit and miss every week . It is always a gamble if he will eat or not. Ticks me off sometimes cause I have had to throw out several mice cause he chooses not to eat them.
