Further to my last post about nocturnal Candoia, I have had a much smoother time feeding my c. Bibroni bibroni since I stopped waking them up in the middle of the day and trying to get them interested in food while all they wanted was to crawl back under a rock, and started feeding them in the evenings.



So I wouldn't think that more daylight would help: at least not at feeding time. Maybe you should observe their natural daily behaviour for a couple of weeks, identify the time they are most active, and try feeding them then, so that you fit in their natural routine.



Mine ALWAYS feed if I offer food once I have noticed they are moving around their tank for an evening or two. If I try to feed them on my schedule and hoick them out of the hides willy-nilly, they sometimes do , sometimes don't, feed.
