 Feeding issues

ive had my ball python for a little more than a year i got him in winter (4 Christmas) and he ate very good but by the next October he slowed down and by the end of November he wasn’t eating at all but at the beginning of January he ate 2 weeks in a row and now hes back to his regular routine of not eating i feed frozen thawed and Ive considered live mice but hes very healthy and moves around alot and drinks plenty of water

If you have any tips or advice to get him to eat or info on the subject it would be much appreciated

 Feeding issues

I’m having the same issue with one of my males. I got him at the beginning of the month and have been trying to feed him once a week since I brought him home, and he has no interest in food. I’ve tried taking him out and feeding him in a box covered with a towel, I tried leaving a mouse in his tank...neither worked. He’s active and healthy otherwise... so I’m not going to worry yet I don’t think. If he doesn’t eat next month, I’m going to see a vet.

If the snake has size and is drinking he will come around ad eat. My breeder spider just resumed feeding after 3 months cause of breeding. Dont worry about it.
