2 Year old Female Burm not eating

kilo Apr 11, 2004 08:15 PM

I have a 12 foot 2 year old Albino Burm who has not eaten in about 3 months. When this first was happening I thought maybe she thinks she is in breeding cycle. The reason I think this is because of her age and the fact that I don't keep lights and just let sunlight to guide them as far as photoperiod.

Mine did the same thing from December until March. I do think it is the amount of sunlight. He did not seem to be losing weight or getting dehydrated. He drank, moved around, peed....I knew he could go a long time without eating...He started back but now he is getting ready to shed so slacked off again. I wouldn't worry as long as she looks healthy.
