    Weight loss

    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?

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