How much does everyone feed during the breeding season? I have been offering all my breeding snakes food every week to 10 days. However, since I started cooling them, many refuse to eat. My male pastel, who was a very solid feeder, hasn't taken a meal since I introduced the first female to him. I give him 3-4 days alone between females, and usually offer him a small meal. He wont eat. It's been almost two months. Many of my aggressive feeding females have significantly slowed down, and a couple are refusing food all together as well. I know many snakes will slow down during breeding season, but should I be worried? My male pastel weighed about 1500g going into the breeding season, so he had plenty of weight. But definitely notice him getting a little thinner.
