    Winter/Brumation Preparations

    The temps have turned cool during the day and cold at night. I've noticed many of my snakes have become more intense when eating.
    They seem to be in a hurry to put on some weight.
    Also my snakes that usually go off food at this time of the year have done so.
    Has anyone else noticed this in there snakes?

    Re: Winter/Brumation Preparations

    it is getting really cold outside and the heat hasn't been turned on yet. I noticed that in all of my snakes, serpent is not eating and still looks skinny. My 3 earling clowns are still eating like pigs and are fat. Only 1 of my het checkereds is eating well. Usually I only have 1 that doesn't want to eat but I had 5 that didn't want to eat

    I'm sure my adult will stop eating again and require a short brumation, but nothing so far.

    Mine are eating very well at the moment, though they do loike to alternate the food choice. Some days it's worms, some days it's pinkies. That's OK, cause right now I can hunt for worms in the yard and I have plenty of pinkies from my order last spring.

    Mine are both still eating well, but there's a definite difference in their behavior. The baby is getting pretty picky about what she eats. It's hard to really tell since I'm not able to be around them very much right now because of college..

    You might have to cool Blade down a little to get her to ovulate, Mama needed that to become gravid last time. She might also need it if she isn't in the mood for Snakey
