I am just wondering what is the acceptable weight loss during hibernation phase... This question was raised in my head after I checked one of my female snakes and found out that she lost more than 30% of her original weight. I tried to feed her but did not succeed.

Re: Weight loss
So much depends on her weight when she went it and whether that was a good weight for her. How long she was in brumation? What temp. was she in at.
Also, what snake?Last edited by guidofatherof5; 02-15-2010 at 07:34 PM.
