    Re: Female off food.

    We think she might be .... although it doesn't really help with the errattic feeding schedule ... she self-brumated this year, she was kept in her normal enclosure and opted to stay at the cool end for most of Jan/Feb which averaged 15-20 degrees C and ate once during this time (as a Florida native I checked the temps and decided not to go for the 5-10degree winter chill time, we did finde her in the warm hide a few times too), she shed and then returned to feeding ... she had a few periods where she would skip a couple of feeds ... then she had three feeds in a row - one before April and two in the first week of May and suddenly stopped just for the fun of it, or so it seems.
    Like I said, there has been virtually no weightloss so I'm not worried at this point. I bet she's just deliberately out to confuse us.
    Keeping - 'Florida blue' sirtalis, concinnus, infernalis, parietalis, radix, marcianus and ocellatus.

    Re: Female off food.

    Could there be a low level parasite problem from the winter?

    I know that in mammals, pyrantel pamoate (strongid) is totally safe during pregnancy, should you decide to do a treatment.
