Re: Kingsnake keepers-- a little help please???
Ok, I know you all are sick of hearing about this, LOL, but Des took two f/t hoppers this weekend all on her own--- I just put them in the tank, and she came and ate totally on her own, without us dangling or moving them!!!!! I think she's a "real" kingsnake now!!!!! :-) :-)

Re: Kingsnake keepers-- a little help please???
Hey guys, I have a question about Desdemona. She has been very, very active the last 2 weeks but has not eaten. She cruises her tank from morning till night, just busy busy busy... but is not interested in eating. Any ideas?? Could she be cruising for a mate, or is she too young for hormones to kick in? (She should be a year old in September)
It's just odd for her, because she's always been pretty sedate, only coming out when she was hungry (twice a week like clockwork). Thanks for any thoughts... it just seems she is searching for something and I'm not able to give it to her. |

Re: Kingsnake keepers-- a little help please???
Pretty snake Lori- I have one that looks just like her. On your question, I think males are more likely to be searching for a mate than females, but I am not sure.
Are you sure that she is a she? Also, just to be safe, I would look her over real close for mites. Other things that comes to mind- any chance she was recently located close to another type of animal that she could be sensing/smelling, that could be making her nervous? I would say she is just more active due to your house probably being warmer at this time of year, but that doesnt explain lack of eating. She looks real healthy at a glance. Keep us updated. |
