JCP acting strange

bakeaway Feb 27, 2009 11:34 AM

My JCP has had no interest in food for the last 2 months. He is 3 years old. The temps are right.
And he keeps moving around his cage a lot of the time. And is calm as can be when I take him out.
I was thinking maybe he is at sexual maturity and looking for a mate. But not sure.

Thanks

He wants a lady!....Can almost guarantee it! I've had them start refusing and start breeding as young as 18 months.

Yep. I agree....horny snake. I had a big male that was really restless at that age and even got quite snappy with me. That was actually the first time I ever went out and bought a snake hook, after years of keeping snakes. He calmed down eventually.

Just be patient with him. LOL
