I don't with hold food from him. He never ate for 7 months from Oct 15 till may 16. The year before it was Oct 14 until mar 15. I still offer him every week or 2 but always refuses. He is 6 years old and has does it every year. He eats when he's out of mating season. He doesn't drop much weight, well not to much to worry about. It's very common for royal pythons to do this and can give a lot of there owners heart attacks.
