i've just put my cal king down for the winter for the first time in his life, i'm planing on breeding him soon, but obviously if i get a female before 2004 (or in 2004) she would not have been brumated, so chances are he will not get his end away next spring?
Its only been 3 weeks and already he has lost his plumpness, and doesnt really seem to no what to do, he keeps looking for the heat source and keeping his head near the heat lamp?
Im just wondering if it will do him any good to brumate him as he looks so hungry and he may not get to mate this coming season?
he has refused his last two meals thats why i decided to put him down when i did, there is definatly nothing in his system.
Should i carry on letting him get cold and hungry? or fattern him up for next year?
