Re: Little advice please :)

Yeah it sounds like breeding behavior. My cal. King is off feed right now as well. At any given time no matter what time of day or night you will find him going back and forth stretching out the full length of his enclosure... He'll be ok he just needs a "hug" lol

Re: Little advice please :)

The age of the snake makes me thing its recently matured and food isn't its priority.

Re: Little advice please :)

Yea, my reptiles shop usually does it for free too, but that might be cause I'm one of their regular and favorite customers.

Re: Little advice please :)

I know how but I have no experience doing it I'd rather be shown the propper way as opposed to thinking I have it down and royally screw up or hurt my snakes... Lol

Re: Little advice please :)

I would say it's probably in breeding mode, but don't let your guard down, as sometimes the snake is really sick, and waiting to find out later just adds to the situation. Is there any females around him, that he may be smelling? Also try feeding him a small meal, like a fuzzy, just to kick start his appetite, and also to see if maybe he regurges. If he does regurge then you know it's something that needs to be looked at. I am just thinking if there is no females around him, he should be eating. But then it could be instinctual, and like a built in clock.

I have an all male collection but they all still go into breed mode each year
