RE: Fla. King not eating -- need advice

(original message date -- May 19th)

Just a quick update that my 5' male king FINALLY decided to eat this past week -- as I had said in the earlier post, this was the first time that this guy went off-feed like this (it had been over 6 months since his last meal) but at least now I know to just wait it out (instead of spending $$$ with the local herp Vets and then debating on if/when to try and force-feed!)

Thanks again for all the help/input...

Yes and that is with a 2 year old female . My older larger ones usually aren't as prolific as younger females.

Again this goes back on the subject of FEEDING. Feeding snakes enough and at an early age to give them a growth spurt. The earlier the growth spurt, the healthier they are later in life.
