Posted by: Sunherp at Fri Nov 5 10:57:30 2010 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Sunherp ] Your male's lack of appetite is a sign he's "ready" to be cooled. As an adaptation to living in a northern clime, many North American Colubrids naturally go off-feed in the fall to minimize the risk of being caught in a cold snap while trying to digest a meal. The trait is especially well-developed among the Lampropeltini (Lampropeltis, Pantherophis, Pituophis, etc.), but shows up in other lineages, too. Long-story-short: cool your male down, and soon, to prevent him from losing condition. [ Hide Replies ]
