I recently got my 1st snake, it was a rescue. Im not sure of the sex but i am making freinds with 3 breeders so hopefully they can sex it for me but since ive had Authur "he" normally hides out in his clay house but in the last 4 days hes abandonned his house to search around his tank and look for something,I 1st thought it was food, but the past 5 - 6 weeks he ate 2-3mice a week (smalll mice). For the 1st 2 weeks then down to a rat pup or 2 a week. So far 2 weeks no food, he still keeps searching around but returning to ball up in the back corner on top of his house or wraps around his climbing sticks. 3 days ago i went to take him out and ive noticed his bum was turned up when i opens the cage and the flap was open, ive seen snakes popped on the net ive never tried it but im wondering could it be looking for a mate and the open flap is to let out hormones but does a male do this or a female. (the organ looked female but it was in within 2 seconds)
Hes 32-36 inches long and as round as a medium plum. Im guessin the weight at about 1.5- 2.0lbs
Is it mate searching or from low pressure fronts that keep hitting or could it be from eating a "bad" mouse (new rodent breeder a the store to help with demands)
