Here is an update on Jake (the pet of ours that does not require constant supervision!). He is still growing as you can see by the photo. That is my watch thrown in there for scale. He had problems eating last week and elected not to do so at all. Although he really didnt seem too enthused about it, he did eat this week. I thought maybe it was do to the fact that he was in mid-shed and just might not feel like it (could have been the case), but in my research, I found that pythons will fast during certain seasons (i.e. mating season) even if captive their entire lives. It is engrained in their DNA. Pythons have been documented as having fasted for up to an entire year! Makes leaving him home for the month we'll be gone a little easier. Included is a photo of his current habitat...everyone in this house is spoiled!
