Im getting alittle worried...my desert king snake(around 10 months old)has stopped eating..she has not eating in around 3 weeks or so now...she has always been a very finiky eater(I have to feed her fuzzys still, as if i try anything that is close to being too big, she refuses)But either way, she has never gone this long without eating. she is out and about every night for alittle while, but she is flat out refusing food...she is alittle small for being roughly a yearling, but as I posted pics of her a few weeks ago on this board, it has been mentioned that although smallish for her age, she is plump where she needs to be...she was eating a fuzzy or two once per week....I do live in upstate NY, and it has been cold here for a couple months now, but my room is always at room temp still, and she still has the UTH that is roughly 85 degrees on the warm end and room temp on the cold end.
Any pointers or tips? is this normal? how long should I let her go before I should start to worry? I have a corn snake that was purchased around the same time as her, and they were the same size, and he still eats like a pig, he would eat everyday if i let him(LOL) and he is now twice the size of my king..I know, different breed and differnt snake, but It just concerns me alittle now..Im sorry that this was so long, any tips would be great..thanks
