food break
I think Ammit is up for her food break this winter. She refused today, so I will leave the mice in the enclosure and see if she takes em.

Medusa is taking a break as well. She's about to shed. Last time she ate was October 29th.

Re: food break
Looks like Daisy has taken a break, it's been almost a month of no food. Guess I'll be saving some money!

Re: food break
is this normal for kings and milks? also, can you prevent this by maintaining constant temps in their enclosures?

Most of us keep constant temperature gradients year round. Mid 70's cool side 85 to 90 warm side for my kings and corn. 74 on warm side for my black milk.

Re: food break
I woke up today, looked in the enclosure, and she was eating the mouse I left in their! Haha but she only ate the one, she wasn't interested in the other one at all. So maybe she's not for a break just yet.

Re: food break
My corns are still going strong, in fact im cutting back on my big snow, as shes starting to look TO round ;P The pines though have definately slowed down. My 2 year old Luci finally took a pair of weanlings after a 3 week break. the lil guy (black pine unsexed) is on his second week refusing. I wish I could say Im saving money but I keep offering anyway so its more a waste of money.
