AS it says, long time reader and I've got loads of information from this forum - much obliged. I am an owner of an 11 month old male Cali King. Bit jumpy still but I believe he'll calm down. A very good feeder since day one - He's 3 ft long already!



However the past month his feeding has been very erratic. He didn't eat for about two weeks before a shed, then ate one fuzzy and refused then for another week. I checked with the shop I got him in and they said to adjust the temperature and to make sure it is constant temp at night and during the day. I did this and he started to feed again but he's refusing again. The day temperature is 26C and night I drop it to 22C which he seemed a lot happier with. When I came home last night he was curled up at the cool end of the viv, when I dropped the temp to 22C he got a lot more active and started to climb around .



So should I drop the day temp to something a bit lower approx 23C? Is he preparing for brumating/hibernating?? Not sure if kingsnakes do this. He is still very alert and active and doesn't look like he's losing any weight so is it Winter kicking in?



Any help/advice is much appreciated I'm sure someone will be able to help.
