I have an adult cali king that hasn't eaten noy for about 4 weeks, can anyone tell me if this is just him thinking of the ladies or the colder weather or something else??
He is always out & about, not lost weight & appears to be ok in every way, just not eating.

I would put it down to the time of year. My kings always go off their food around this time.

It might be a good idea to lower the temps within the viv soon to allow your snake to brummate. If you keep them awake and they continue not to eat his weight probably will go down, so you might as well do what nature inteded and let him have a good chill out over winter
