Hi all. I brumated my checkered garter when he went off food in December problem free, but he still doesn't have much of an appetite.
He's eaten, off the top of my head, a hopper, several mouse pinkies, two rat pinkies, and a few nightcrawlers. This sounds like a lot but it's been close to three months now.
I've tried offering him live minnows, he was hardly interested. He doesn't care for nightcrawlers either. He ate a rat pinky as well as a mouse pinky for me about two weeks ago, and nothing since. I'm concerned because he is losing weight, especially around his head and back regions. He doesn't care much for frozen thawed fish either and really has only ever taken mice readily with me.
Meanwhile, my radix is pounding food like a champ!
