from my records: Yellow's last successful feed was October 3 2017; his last strike was September 17 2017; weight on October 2 2017 was at 904g; most recent shed was January 7 2018 and weight was ~800g. since October he's only lost ~100g.
this was Yellow's first winter with 3 females in the room, and food has been the last thing on his mind. last feeder offering was January 30, but tonight when he was offered YELLOW ACTUALLY STRUCK!!!
if you don't know Yellow: he's a very shy eater and usually only eats when i set the feeder down and walk away; any strike i get is extremely surprising. not only did Yellow eat for the first time since October, BUT HE STRUCK!!! most of my snakes are 2017 born and less than 600g; i almost forgot what almost 1000g feels like slamming a feeder off tongs! what a rush!!!
almost 5 months off feed. what a relief.
super crappy pic but i wasn't expecting this and it's all i got:
