It would take a long time for your snake to starve. Probably about a year. Like other people said, as long as it's not losing weight (which you stated it isn't) then there's really no reason to fret

IMO it's more dangerous to feed live rats than is posed by a snake not eating for a month or 2, or even 3.

I was thinking of something smaller if live food...
