My Adult Kingsnake won't eat ...

He last ate Jan 3rd (almost 2 months ago). He's a full grown kingsnake, about 2-3 years old, nearly identical in appearance to a Jalisco Milksnake. Always a regular eater before... usually 2 hoppers.



I've tried varying size, quantity with no success.



Do you think he knows it's Winter and is unknowingly trying to brumate? Do I have anything to worry about?



He seems healthy... good skin sheen, active, feisty when I try to hold him...



My son's Grey-Banded King died after refusing to eat for a number of months. I just don't remember how long to wait before panicking.



Thanks,



Walt
