Hi everyone.

I bought two adult bloods about three weeks ago. My male eats great. I haven't had any problems with him period. But my female just won't eat, and hasn't for about three weeks.

The things is though, that I have several snakes and most of them have been feeding weird lately (either not at all, or not as much).

I was just wondering if they have a seasonal cycle that could be doing this, or what should I do? I currently have three large pythons that haven't eaten in about three weeks. I just felt it a little ironic that three out of several would act this way. . . all at the same time.

Thanks
Kourtney

Hey,
Males and females will during the latter part of fall and early part of winter, go off feed on occasion, signaling they're coming into season. Their lack of interest in food, particularly as adults, is usually an indication that they are coming into their breeding cycle. This is typical of males and females during this time and will not have any health risk as long as there is no underlying health issue.

My other point on the subject is that this female might need sometime to acclimate and or her feeding schedule and food preference might need to be understood. (Frozen thawed vs. live food, or other etc.).
