Cee Cee and Selena...The Eastern Girls

[katach]

Yeah I have 2 right now who are slowing down on the food. It's that time of year though.

[EasternGirl]

I haven't really noticed a pattern that goes with seasons with these girls though...I mean they stopped eating in the summer and now they are eating in the winter...isn't that backwards?

[katach]

Did you have them last winter?

[EasternGirl]

I had Selena last winter...I found her in November. She ate normally...for Selena...she has always eaten very little and she usually only eats part of what is on her dish and maybe every other feeding...which is usually once a week, sometimes every other week. I didn't get Cee Cee until last May and she was gravid when I found her...she ate constantly for the first couple of months and then she stopped...then she had 30 stillborns over a 3 week period in July...and she has eaten on and off in small amounts since then. Now all of the sudden she's acting famished.

Gravid snakes sometime will stop eating prior to giving birth. Not all though. Willow ate the day before she had her babies.

[EasternGirl]

I figured that is probably why she wasn't eating during that time...and like I said Selena has never been a very hearty eater. Maybe Cee Cee is just now starting to get her appetite back in full. Okay...I'm going to try to go to sleep for a while...the new snake is supposed to get here before 10:30am...

Have a good rest.
