Hi all, I am pretty sure this is normal but just wanted to check and ask a question. This is a 5 year old male hogg island boa and he has refused food for a month now. His temps are 92 on hottest spot in 4x2 cage, 78 at the absolute coolest. At night this drops to 89-90 and 76-77.

He ate without fail all last winter which was the first year I had him. But the background temp was a bit higher, low 80s.

Questions are, assuming this is normal behavior: should I continue to offer food every couple of weeks and continue throwing rats away or not bother? Also should I cool him off to simulate real winter temps for him?

Thank you very much,
Carole

PS I have no female and no plans for breeding presently.
