My 3ft. gator is only eating about once every twelve days and is not eating that much when she does eat. as we had discussed earlier about winter/temps, the question i have is should i drop her temps for the winter or continually keep them as they are? i have been told to bump up water and room temps and this would cause her body temperature to rise, thus inducing a hearty appetite. this has NOT worked. in fact she has lost a little weight and i think(and correct me if I'm wrong)that since she has basically gone off feeding that her metabolism is still kicking in and burning off her weight. any suggestions on my next course of action? thank you.
