    Why won't she eat?
    I've had my female normal for a few months now, but, as of 3 and 1/2 weeks ago, she quit eating. Is it b/c of breeding season? She is close to 3ft. long and weighs a little over 500 grams. I have had no problems with her eating before. She normally eats live, but, I have offered her P/Ked as well, still nothing. Any suggestions?

    at 500g, a female is probably not really looking to breed.

    Have you changed any of her husbandry at all?

    What are your temps? heating? thermometers? enclosure?

    Glass enclosure, 78 or so on the cool and 87 on the warm side, 70%humidity. Don't understand it b/c in seperate tank, same temps, my spider is slamming the food.

    Some snakes are pickier than others. I would up your temps by a few degrees and give the snake two tight fitting hides if you haven't already.
