HI everyone

I bought a very nice super pastel sugar from TSK 2 month ago.

They told me this male was born in August 2010, almost one year old. When I get the snake, he weight 120 gram only for almost one year old. I asked them how come and is he a picky eater? They told me he is totally normal and a good feeder. He just hatched small. They feed him one picky rat every 7 days for almost a year.

After I got him. I feed him every 5 days. He will take 2 to 3 fuzzy rat ( those eyes not open one )per feeding. I am very happy with him.

After 4 weeks, he weight 160 gram. I was so happy, and truly believed he is a good feeder.

However, 5 weeks ago. He stop eating. He only took 1 fuzzy rat every 10 days. I have no idea why? Everything is the same. My cold side is 82 hot side 89. It always the same. Nothing has changed.

Only thing I can think of was, 5 week ago. I placed a male pied into a het pied tub. Since that, few of my 1000 gram females eat less. Maybe they can sense the breeding. I didn't drop the temp during breeding.

So, can this 11 month old 160 gram male also in breeding mode and stop eating well?

Thanks any help will be appreciated. I really look forward to breed him the coming season, I guess that maybe just a dream now. Bad luck.
