    JCP Hunger Strike

    Anybody ever have a JCP go on a hunger strike? I have a 7ft male which has never missed a meal live or frozen. For the past three weeks he has refused both. I've even tried different sizes from small to jumbo. Though at nite he is quite active like he's roaming for food, but he does'nt take the bait. I'm thinking it might be the change in weather. I live in Southeast Texas and we've had a pretty warm winter, but lately is bee really cool at nite. Do you think this may have something to do with him not eating? Getting a little worried. Never had a snake go this long without eating. Not even my Ball. Any advice would help. Thanks.

    Re: JCP Hunger Strike

    Is the change in temps having a measurable impact on the cage temps? How low are they dropping overnight? If your temps are dropping from the norm they could definitely have an imipact on feeding response. What are you keeping them at and how wide the variation with the weather impact?
