    Re: Just not hungry?

    Great news.

    Did you attempt more or just the one? Now's the time to offer that and other items.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Re: Just not hungry?

    Yes, he ate a second within ten minutes of the first. I didn't want to over do it so I stopped at two. Also worth noting. The female was like in a feeding frenzy yesterday. She normally eats two, last night she ate five.

    Something in the snakes environment has changed and set off a feeding frenzy. The female ate 5 yesterday and 4 today, the male ate 2 yesterday and 3 today.

    Barometric pressure and light phases might be some of it.

    Re: Just not hungry?

    Amazing how fast they have fattened up in just two days
    Here are a couple of interesting footnotes to this.
    The temperature in the room is now a steady 80*. I would think it was in the temperature but my daughter kept him for about three weeks and she keeps her snake room at that temp. At any rate it is 80*-82* now.
    Here is something odd. I play the guitar. In fact I play everyday. I keep my guitars in a room in the house that the temperature and the humidity stay pretty constant. My guitars hold tune really well and for some reason two times a year they will change tune, like overnight. Once in the Spring and once in the Fall. Last night when I went to play the guitar it was out of tune.
    But just like someone flipped a switch they both have gone into a feeding frenzy. The female has been going after my hand

    Re: Just not hungry?

    I'm really happy to hear that your blacknecks are feeding again, there must be something in the air this weekend because my two have eaten today as well.
