Yeah, its been winter and I was expecting her to stop eating but not for this long. I keep both of my snakes on automated systems which keep a range from 79 to 90 in their tanks cold to hot sides respectively. That is a constant temp regulated by both light and under the tank heat pad on a thermostat. Most of their day heat is provided by the lamps and the night temp is from the UTH. I spot check using a laser thermometer throughout the day just to be safe. I keep it so they have a good movement range for thermal regulation. I will post pictures of their set ups when possible.



As far as weight goes. She still looks like she did before she stopped eating. I don't really know what to look for when looking for weight loss. She still can flip her self over really fast if I try and turn her over she still hisses and strikes at me when she feels uncomfortable. She seems like she is in good shape. She makes laps around her cage and constantly flicks her tongue at me. She currently is sitting on the warm side coiled up looking at her future mate.
