my boa will not eat

[twiztidjuggalo]

i have her in a 40 gal. aquarium with a ceramic heat emmiter and an undertank heater during the day tha cage is at 91degrees and at night 70degrees she will only eat adult mice and nothing else its been almost 2 months since she stopped eating

is it because it's winter?

or could something be wrong

dont worrie at all if the temp is normal amd the humididty is right its all good for them to not eat for a while i had one of my guys go 3 months without eating its that time of year and if hes male its breeding season so expect it for sure around breeding season hope all works out for you

cheers

Nighttime temps are too cold. You want to always provide a hotspot of approx 80F That along with winter is likely the cause. Is she away from windows & doors etc. anywhere there are drafts? Also if she can see the natural light she will react to that as well with winters shorter days. Even if her light is regulated she will still react to the seasons barometric pressure changes despite manipulation in her enviromental conditions. Mark
edit - the nightme temps OK for the ambient but what is her hotspot at night? Only 70F or is it hotter? If she ate well prior its likey the seasonal change.
