I breed yellows, my male eats less than 4 months of the year, they are breeding since early Dec. when the female completely refused food......when she swells at the end of Jan. I will separate them til next year and offer her food which she will take(f/t rats), till she has her pos then she will eat one more time and thats it till she gives birth........The male will not eat till his next shed, late March probably. You got a wicked yellow by the way.......Mike
