RE: Its been 2 months....

I have two coastals, both 17 months old, and one of these (female) has eaten only once over the past 3 months, while the other (male) has fed the whole time, except when coming up to a shed. Both are kept under identical conditions and were good eaters. They were the same size three months ago but now the male is noticeably larger.

When offered food she will not even strike, just smells it and turns away. She still looks okay and is out a lot, and have been assured by my vet that this can be normall behaviour for some snakes during winter. Still it would put me at ease if when she starts eating again, so i can try and get some size on her.
