Does the reticulated python have any competitors?
Although the retic. is the "longest" snake in the world, it does not mean that it doesn't have any competitors. Other snakes, such as Burmese, Indian python and the amethystine python are very similar in terms of their hunting methods and prey. I wouldn't want to run into any of these animals "WILD" and at full size......they would present a big problem!!

The most logical explanation could be that she is beginning a shed. Many snakes go off food for that time. If that is the case, there are no real concerns and all should reestablish on its normal pattern when she is finished. She should have the appropriate humidity to properly do this with ease.
Check her hydration. Give her a good soak in the tub massaging her middle toward the vent.
If she were bred anytime this season, she could be pregnant. Weights should be accurately measured every other week to ensure she is not losing much if any weight.
Parasites could be the issue. This is more likely if you feed live or f/kzperiodz Frozen feeders are said to be parasite free concerning the temps they are kept in. A fecal test will answer that question.
If it is male, it could be simply because he would like to hibernate if it is near winter or winter where you are. If it is female, it can still be because they want to hibernate but its most likely males are the one that would like to hibernate most.
Also, snakes do not always eat weekly. They may go off food at times. If your fecal check comes back clear, keep offering, she will eat when ready.
I know that my Ball Pythons and my Burmese Python can go around a year without eating and still be okay. Don't worry too much about her not wanting to eat at the moment. If she goes around a month and seems to not want to feed, I would call the local vet and see if they can just do a quick check for you. My Balls don't really want to eat during the months of November-Feburary. They are great eaters otherwise. They get to were they sleep most of the time during those months and I get them out weekly to check on them. My Burmese will eat any time you put food in with him. I hope this helped you a little bit.
