Hey everyone, I purchased a baby rubber boa two weeks ago and I have a few questions. First, should i be worried she hasn't shown any interest in food? I know wild individuals hibernate this time of year, so should I be offering her food? where i bought her from, the people are very responsible and have reliable information and they stated she was captive bred. Does the hibernation rule apply for captive bred individuals? i'm currently keeping her in a 2 gallon "critter keeper" with hide, water dish and a coconut fiber mixed with moss bedding. there is no heat source, but it stays at around 70 degrees all day and night. Is there anything i can do to improve her lifestyle, she's already my favorite snake and I want her to be as happy as possible. Thanks for any help!
