We heard somewhere that males stop eating over winter and Nagini (who we now know if possibly a male) didn't eat all last winter and is starting to get reluctant again this year.
Just wondered if anyone else noticed this with their males? |

He's scared of them! Don't know why, but he just hisses and goes for rats in a aggressive way rather than an eating response.
Weird snake. |

| I have found that both sexes go off there feed during the winter, but more so the males. I brumate mine any ways so they are off food for 3 months, not of there own choice. |

well Nagini has refused point blank to eat again this week, might consider brummating him if he's not going to eat anyway.

Usually tends to be preparing for brumation. My male Mexican black has done the same, however much to my delight my female took 4 Rat fluffs. It depends on the photo-period and more importantly the temperature. It's nothing to worry. If you don't want him to brumate, raise the temperature a little aswell as the photo-period if you can. Otherwise, save some money on electricity and food (Aim for 10-16 Degrees) and let him be for the next 3 months.

I think it would be a good idea- a good sleep might do him good anyway. He might not be as grumpy next year  |

If you do brumate Nagini, weigh him/her before and after. It would be interesting to see the weight changes  |

We have weighed Cyd ready for her big sleep- but she's not liking it so far. The two weeks without food has really upset her. She keeps giving me evil eye everytime I walk past the viv
She's ready to go now though, been cleaned out, light has been reduced and she's gone down 2 degrees so far. Hope it goes well. |

| Breeding Cyd with Cornelius our best lookers - they're both very similar looking so should get some nice looking babies, but don't know what's hidden if anything |
