I have a question, maybe someone can answer. My male has not eaten the last 4 times I offered food. I feed every Sunday. (This is my first winter with all of the snakes.) Is this normal behavior? My sonoran (female) went from eating 3 hoppers at a time to eating only one. The temp in the viv is between 70-75 degrees. I didn't know if the cooler temps have something to do with them not eating like they normally do. Thanks! Any ideas would be appreciated!

Mine (pyros, Pacific gophers, and bulls)are doing the same thing. I think it is the shorter days even more than the cooler temperatures. I am brumating anybody who has not eaten for at least a month. Come February when I take them out of brumation I expect a vigorous feeding response; that is what usually happens with my snakes. As long as they don't start to lose too much weight I don't worry about whether or not they are eating as much as they do in the warmer months.
