Hello all,
I have a 7 year-old female California King who has stopped eating. It has been over 2 months since she has eaten. Prior to this, she was eating 2-3 mice a week at times during the summer and autumn. She gained considerable weight during this time, and still looks to be a healthy weight. However, she wouldnt eat one day and after numerous attempts of feeding her she just is not interested in live or dead mice at all. She is still lively, and energetic when I handle her and not showing signs of hunger at all. But, like I said, its been over 2 months. Is this an instance for a force feeding attempt? I know that can be tramatic to the snake, but it has been a long time since she's eaten and I'm getting worried. Its the first time she's ever done this......
