what gets me is, nothing noticeable has changed. i live in central florida. we are in a "cold front" at the moment, and it was still up to 90 degrees today. the a/c is still going, the cabinet has it's own heater to keep the ambient the same, lighting is the same, ect...

so... i'm not sure. maybe the smell of one of my males? not sure how much that would count. maybe the time of the year? still not sure. seems a big coincidence that all 4 of my larger ones went off feed though. i do agree that the smaller ones still feeding makes sense if they are naturally trying to gain size.

anyone have experience with females going off feed with westerns?

honestly though, if it was all about the snake, they would still be in the wild and no one would keep them in cages. yes, i try to make it as pleasant as possible for them and want them to thrive. yes, it is my wish that they continue to feed, thrive, and grow until i put them into brumation. i honestly don't see how anyone that keeps pets could say that it is all about them when they are in a cage.
