Kingsnake.com - Herpforum - My Pueblan is starting to worry me

Posted by: dekaybrown at Tue May 20 17:57:27 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by dekaybrown ]

Back about 6 weeks or so ago I had asked if males behaved differently during mating season with no females.

Doug pointed out that yes they will act differently, and may stop feeding.

Well, he still ignores the mouse, it's been 6 weeks since he ate.

he has not lost any significant body mass, but I am growing concerned.

I try every few days, and last night he seemed remotely interested, but turned and crawled away without eating.

how long before I should get REALLY worried?

Regards,
Wayne A. Harvey
