My ball has not eaten since October. I have offered live mice which he has eaten most of the time and dead mice which he has eaten 3 times every few weeks or so but he does not want them. I am worried even though I know some balls can go 5-6 months without eating.

The temp and humidity are good. He has defecated twice during this time period and had a good shed. He shows no sign of weight loss and his spine is not pronounced.

What can I do, I love him and don't want him to die. Any advice? Thank you.

If you use a dead mouse to feed the snake try heating/thawing it with warm chicken broth. this may entice the snake to eat it. if that still doesnt work take the snake to the vet and see if it is sick.
