Borneo Short-tailed python will not eat

[PsychoSnake]

It is starting fall here and outside has been really cold and rainy. Could that effect her?

Yes. Some snakes go off feed when fall/winter approaches. I have a rosy boa that becomes a difficult feeder during this time of year. She snaps out of it in February. Right now she is spitting her food out of her mouth! The local reptile store here last year got a lot of complaints of snakes going off feed last November. Advice from my vet and the reptile store was as long as they are at a good weight and maintain weight don't worry until you hit the six month mark for an adult. Keep offering and try different foods. Maybe see about ordering f/t African soft furs online?

Thanks for all your help. And I mean that ya'll. So many people rip others for making a mistake, or not knowing about a species. Its a shame too. That's why there is so much confusion and in-fighting on these forums. I wish everyone would stop trying to compete for "most knowledgeable, and just help to advance this hobby before its completely outlawed in the states.

I have a rosy that wont eat also. She never has. Shes a hatchling that I got in April from back water. Ive tried it all with her as well. These two are the only ones that I have this problem with. She in in a ten gallon, two hides. Low humidity. Hot side 90 cool side 80-83. She moves sooooo slow. Ive had to force feed her 3 times. Im serious with her Ive tried everything. I used to handle her but havent touch her in 3 weeks. Well thats not accurate. I have only touched her to force feed her. She doesnt regurgitate them. Although I know FFing has got to be very terrifying for her. I would be scared too if someone shoved a steak in my mouth.
