lineaticollis feeding problems over info

yomamma Apr 02, 2006 02:43 PM

3 months ago all 3 of my linnys stopped eating. Nothing was different about my husbandry, so I was a little confused. I took one to the cooler rack (mt kingss), and the other 2 I kept on the hotter rack (subocs). I would throw in a pinky once a week over the last few months, but no luck. This week they all started eating again. The only thing that has changed is the photoperiod. Spring has still not arrived here in NorCal, so ambient temps should have no effect. As one would expect, the snakes kept in the hotter rack lost more weight. So for anyone else experiencing this problem my best advice is to keep your snakes cool for several months, that way when they decide to eat again, they will have kept more weight on.
