Hey, my 5 y/o female is off feed, I had only a small drop in temps, but the main change was i had her with lower humidity and and short photoperiod for the winter. I imagine this was good enough for cycling, and in the past two weeks she came off feed, just wondering if this is the norm and for how long will a cycled female stay off feed? I hate to do the whole my boa is not eating bit, just curious as I should be getting a male for her within the week and I'm wondering if I should wait to feed her or just try her until she eats again.
Thanks in advance.

My females usually will eat through the breeding season. They go off feed a couple weeks after the males lose interest in courting them and about the same time they start looking and acting gravid.
Good luck,
Jeff
