my dads fiance has a 3 year old royal python, she had had her for about 6 months, all fine up until about 3 weeks ago when she stopped eating, I know absolutely nothing about royals tbh but have read that they are known to go off their food? Are there any ways to encourage her to eat. Thanks  |

3 weeks is nothing for a royal to go without food, is just something they do very well. One of ours went 4 months no food and no issues from that.

| It's feeding time tonight so she's going to try warming it up in warm water first. Thanks for the replies |

nice and warm is the key, and try not to wave the mouse/rat above the snakes head, keep it down towards the ground!
To put into context, my lemon pastel male hasnt eaten since october last year, and hes still over a kilo in weight, he was only 1300g to start with! |
