I have two snakes that haven't eaten in a while, the first is my pastel ball python- he's almost a year old and went off feed a few months ago...was off feed for 2ish months, then ate a couple of small mice, and hasn't eaten since. He is in a 35q tub with the hot side temp being 85 and the cool side 80. I know snakes, ball pythons especially, go off feed every once in a while, but he has lost a little bit of weight so I'm starting to get worried.

My other snake is a corn snake hatchling. He is about a month and a few weeks old. He fed last on August 9th, regurged that meal the next day and hasnt fed since. His ambient temp is about 82-83 degrees.

I feed f/t and i have tried feeding live to my ball python- he just turns away from it. any suggestions that I could try?

thank you!
