Snakes - my snake is hiding
Expert: Kevin L. Ogle - 11/6/2009
Question
my ball python hasn't been hungry lately and the last week she's been hidden inside her fountain, laying in the water and she hasn't budged. is she okay? is she going be okay? is it normal for ball pythons to do this right now 'at this time? please respond thank you
Answer
Some snakes do act oddly when winter sets in. I have had my 2 BPs go months at a time without eating for no apparent reason. I don't see the size of your snake listed, but unless she goes more than a month without eating, I would not be concerned. I can't say this is normal behavior, but if your husbandry is correct, it is not that odd that a snake becomes dormant for a time.
