Answer
Hi Patricia,

Royal pythons are often fussy eaters and will go off food from time to time. its usually nothing to worry about unless your snake goes without food for several months or starts to lose weight. the most common cause of innapetance is incorrect temperatures which often occur due to the cold weather at winter time. check your temperatures they should be 82-84F in the middle with a hot and cool spot.

i hope this helps,

Andy
