Re: BP Won't eat
Kendra, HMT,
Mine quite eating for several months again, too, and he just ate the 23rd when our weather finally got above 60 deg during the day and above 40 at night for a week consistently. I do believe that some of them go through a winter fasting; it probably has something to do with where we're keeping them or with household nighttime temps, even though we are heating their nice enclosures. As I cannot change the location of the enclosure at this time--we're going through some major remodeling that will continue through the summer--I'm going to feed him really well this spring & summer. In early fall, I'm thing I'll feed him a little more often to sort of bulk him up for his winter fast.
I have a sneaking suspicion that once I'm able to move my snakes upstairs, this winter fast won't occur anymore, but that remains to be seen.
Hang in there! Sandy
