At first, that's what I thought it was: that it just would not feel like eating much for a short while, but I believe it's been too long for that to be the case. One of my other thoughts was: maybe it's pretty much fully grown so it's eating less (although the change was fairly sudden). But the weight loss suggests its something else. I haven't tried pinkies and tilapia. I'm thinking it would be hard to make it accept pinkies since I couldn't use tricks like senting with worm sent, but I might try the tilapia (do you just buy tilapia filets from the grocery store?)

Here are the pictures I was able to take yesterday of the snake and its terrarium:

This is the current version of the terraium, with the thicker substrate to bring the surface closer to the light.

As you can see from the condensation, there's still a fair bit of evaporation going on and the temperature is, at least, a bit warmer than the room temperature (which is the same as last year [min:20C]).

I don't know if it makes a difference, but it's a thamnophis sirtalis (not the parientalis subspecies).

What kind of wood would you recommend? I have some nice split log pieces that I could put in, but I don't know what species they're from.
