I have a female spotted who is18 months old and have never experienced this. I do not cool her in winter though which is why i ask about temps. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jul-07 Location: Westn subs Melb Gender: | | | sorry for all the Questions but i feel this is unusual for his age. Do you have a hot end and a coolend, and where does he spend most of his time( which end).Also when did you bring him home to his enclosure. This matters as he may still be settlig in. Some snakes get really stressed with a change of housing and they wont eat for months, i didnt have this problem and therefore i think its a bit unusual. If you purchased off a breeder give them a call and ask for their experienced advice as im still learning also.

We brought him home on the 15th April, and he shed his skin the previous day. Maybe he was a bit stressed from the move and new enclosure.
Thanks |
