Any of your snakes still Fasting?

My snake has been off feeding since september, it now has 6 months without eating... last year it started feeding after 5 months... is it because of the crazy weather here in cali? All the temps & humidity are just fine... my snake is starting to look skinny but has only lost 200g since the last meal is this ok? I was just wondering if I'm the only one still in the fasting period...

i live in central cali and my snakes are feeding just fine.... what part of cali are you in.... do you have a thermistat a rack or are the in glass setup?

I live in LA... yes I do have a thermostat & temps read from 88*F - 92*F... the ambient temp is in the high 70s & I hav e her in a glass tank... I'm switching to tubs maybe by the end of this year, they seem to be warmer & keep temps steady

it will keep temps more steady i had the same problems with the plastic tubs the cant see out like they can in a tank....wich gives them more security oh btw.... are you feeding live or dead and is he a juvinile or adult

I still have one thats off feed. He has been about 6.5 months. Try a rat that is way too small for them. With my girl that wasn't eating for about 5.5 months, I just tried a little fat fuzzy rat and she ate it, then the next week I gave her 2 of those about 20 minutes apart, and now for the past 2 weeks she has been eating her regular size small rats. Give the smaller prey a chance!

For the one still fasting, I haven't tried the fat fuzzy yet since he just shed, but I tried an ASF and he wasn't diggin it.

My 10 month old male normal was on a 43 day fast until just a few days ago. I ended up giving him a rat pup which he just hogged right up. Sometimes smaller prey is the way to go for a snake that is fasting.

im sorry for asking this but what is fasting?

It is when your snake stops eating for a period of time.

I had a young (700g) albino male end his four and a half month fast 5 days ago. I fed him a weanling when he was eating small rats before his fast started.

my girl has eaten a few times since her fast started in dec., but i want to say for the most part she's still fasting since she's still acting finicky and usually eats weekly without a problem.
