Weird feeding habit

[Doggey75]

So for the past month he hasnt really been eating much at all. But, a few days ago I found a pupa in the meal worm container so I put that in front of his hiding place. I come back 20 mins later and its gone. On friday I dumped my mealworms to get new ones and found another pupa and I did the same thing. Today, I crushed a meal worms head and put it in front of his den while I fed my Ball Python. After I was done. It was gone. He is only about 3-4 months old. Has this ever happen to anyone?

Its probably just brumaion, i wouldn't worry too much. Offer food and if he eats he eats, he doesn't he doesn't.

He ate 4 mealworms today!! More than her eaten in a while lol. I put 3 near just to see if he wants more. But this is really great. He lost 4 grams from December 13 till Jan 17

How much does he weight now? 4grams sounds like a significant loss :O. I am under the impression that during brumation, they get nutrients from their tail...so some weight loss is expected(??) but 4 grams sounds like he didn't have the "fat tail" to suck from??

He weighs 20g. I was told when I got him that he had a fat tail. He has eaten 10 mealworms yesterday do I'm sure he will gain some weight

Usually happens this time of year even if your temps don't drop the hours of daylight do.
