If it's like garters, theres nothing to worry about, but I don't know...

[Bart]

Well, do garter males like to have a pause in eating? And not connected with brumation?

[guidofatherof5]

If they are hungry they will want to eat. I have a few garters that will take a break but only when they want to.
Summer seems to be the most often time for a food break.
Then I have some that are random and you can't count on any kind of a schedule.

[Bart]

Well, how long can they live without eating?

[RedSidedSPR]

A looooong time.

My adult garter has stopped eating, ad hasn't eaten for almost 3 months! But he's fine.

[Bart]

So, house snakes should be able not to eat more than 3 months because of their metabolism. Feels good, man.

3 months is a long time in the Summer months. That's not usual.
In my opinion.

[RedSidedSPR]

Well, that's what I was thinking... Like I said, ALMOST, 3 months... He has eaten... Like ever two weeks he'll eat a worm... Maybe...

I scented it a little with guppie to speed up the process - 15 secs and pinkie in her belly (swallowing not counted in).

Snakey ate a 5 inch worm in 3 seconds, counting swallowing. We had never seen him do that! He slurped it in like it was spaghetti. He usually takes his sweet time eating

[RedSidedSPR]

3 seconds? Really?
