Carpet python help?

Since he is actually that young, it won't have to do with breeding. I would definitely reduce the frequency that you're offering so that you're pitching out less rodents. Although changing prey item can certainly stimulate appetite, sometimes it can cause them to only want the alternative prey item so it has the potential to be a pain. It is therefore not something I would suggest doing at this point if I were you. Like MDT said, this happens without reason (to us) sometimes, so as long as everything else is ruled out and weight loss isn't drastic then it's all good. Being that big at a year you probably had him on a somewhat heavy feeding schedule so it would be quite normal for him to look "thinned out" a little bit because you wouldn't be used to seeing him completely empty.
