OK guys I have a question so here is the setup. I have this female hypo coastal. She is a cb03 animal. I call her big hypo because she hatched huge and took pinks right out of the egg. For her whole life she has been a great feeder. Last year she vorosiously fed on two weanling mice per feeding twice a week. She came out of hibernation this year not eating, never, a good sign but when I offered her a pinkie she jumped on it and three more that followed. She has since been feeding pretty heavy on pinks but is resisting all attempts to get her to revert to taking fuzzies or weanlings. Even live are turned down. I've had snakes have off years before but with this girl the change in feeding behavior is so pronounced that I'm quite at a loss as to its cause. So any ideas what might be behind the change. All aspects of husbandry I can think of remain unchanged.
