turning down food???

[steveo]

in the past month or 2 my gtp has only eaten once every three weeks. this is very uncommon of this snake it was my first and i have had it in my care for thew last 4 or 5 months. it has not yet to turn down food other than these first times. i do not know what sex it is if that makes a difference. it is around a yearling when i got it so yeah you get it. thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

Once every 3 weeks doesnt sound like its a major problem...

What are you feeding it?
what temps and humidity u keeping it at?

[wetlander]

I agree with shadow. How large is the snake and how large is the food? temp and humidity?

it is getting cooler now. Are the enclosure temps the same as they were is the summer? I just added a moon light to mine just to help keep the night time temps up.

sometimes they just go off feed in the fall, males do this alot more. especially around a year to a year and a half in age.

thanks

its definitely not uncommon if it a male!

[steveo]

yes the plan is in early spring to have it sexed and i have heard of males doing this. i simply wanted to double check, thank you all for your help.

and the temps are high 80's during the day and mid 80's at night. and the humidity is always between 80 and 70 %

Humidity should be dropping into the 40's at night.
