Tonite this cal finally ate after "ONLY" 129 days of a self imposed hunger strike/brumation on the 55-65 degree cool end of his 106 qt. tub/enclosure.
So, if your kingsnake decides on passing up a meal or two don't worry about it.

Yes he lost quite a bit of wt., but this is not unusual for him, he has been off/on like this ever since he was 6mos. old. and he is known for pulling this crap at any time of year. another interesting thing about this individual is, of all the um-teen cals in my collection he is the only one who absolutly hates to feed in hand, i was thinking of trading him off but i would'nt want to wish him on my worst enemy,lol.
