    Just chill,now!

    Does anyone else have snakes off food? I've got a number of my breeding females(radixes) doing just that. Feels to me like it did last year. Only it's a month or more early. We had the coolest July on record and it's getting down to the high 40's for a second night. Highs are only in the low eighties during the day. Just wondering how everyone else is doing. It seems to be only my large breeding females.

    Stewie is still eating like a piggy! She downed 2 pinkies and a plate of salmon last night, leaving only 1 piece of salmon for Midnight.

    It is warmer here (we finally got summer) and goes down to the high 50's, low 60's at night. Stays warm inside though.

    Don't know for sure if Midnight is a girl with baggage (babies) but we'll see.

    Yeah, I have one snake off food at the moment. They tend to get a bit confused when the days start getting shorter.

    You guys are lucky! It's been in the hundred temps here! Big fires everywhere and people evacuating their homes in surrounding cities! I've been busy making my rounds with my animals 2 or 3 times a day to make sure everyone has fresh water or is misted. All my frogs, geckos, tarantulas, and snakes are very active and eating like crazy!

    One of my garters has been off feed for a week or two now. She'll act like she's interested in the mouse then just slither away, sometimes she even grabs the mouse then drops it and won't have anything to do with it. She's always been a picky eater for me though.

    Everyone is feeding for me...Even the cyrtopsis!
    Although I expect the parietalis and radix to go off any time now (the adults...the young never stop...)

    Funny you ask, Steve. My normally piggy Florida Blue female refused her last feeding.
