My trio of diamonds have been out of hibernation for 1 month. My two oldest have shown some breeding activity and still are maintaining good body weight but show no feeding response. My lone female is very active but shows no inclination to feed either but she is getting pretty skinny. Last Spring she exhibited the same behavior, I had to take her to the vet, where he informed me she had an infection. Once treated she started to feed. Has anyone ever encountered similar problems with Diamonds? They last fed in Nov. 05. I have the Stan Chiras article and my behavior here is exactly opposite to what he states. These snakes have all bred before and I have had them anywhere from 1.5 to 7 years. Im not worried about the two older snakes yet but the young female is starting to worry me. Im wondering if the AZ winter is to dry for their respiratory systems. I have them in reptariums, the window is open year round with near daily mist spraying and a humidifier which I run a few days a week in the winter. They have hide boxes and no heat, only natural sunlight which comes through the window. They will normally sun in the midmornings then retreat to their hide boxes. Room temps average 55-65 in winter. As of late March all heat pads are on and they are staying on them almost full time. Room temp is currently mid to high 70's. Pad temps are hi 88-92 degrees with natural sun coming in as well. I think I have covered all the variables. They do not go into full hibernation. I have opted for the "natural" hibernation route. Anyone with any ideas of something I may be doing wrong here? Sorry for being so long winded. Brad
