yankeeslover Nov 23, 2010 11:46 AM

just a quickie, and sorry to post to two boards, not sure which one gets more traffic..... roughly 1.5 yo male az mt kingsnake... seemed to go off feeding around 1 month ago...is it normal to cool a mt kingsnake? and for how long? i had a desert kingsnake i had to put in a closet last winter for 2 months and since then he eats like crazy...how long can i put a mt king away for without starving him? and what temps? its very very hard for me to find a dark cool place in my house. i have one closet that is dark, and gets high 50's-low 60's... only option i have.... should i wait another week and try another fuzzy first?

YES.....for a good month or 6 weeks. Make sure temps are stable w/ little to no fluctuations. Warm him slowly over a week or so, and ten offer a small food item. Take it slow.
