Okay folks, I'm about stumped here. Kyna our female whose about 2.5 years old and currently weighs 1,100 grams has suddenly stopped eating or eating very sporadically the past month. She's not acting wierd in fact she's almost overly friendly! We open her tub to put in her usual live prey and she bypasses the prey and crawls up on us. Not acting stressed or flightly or anything....it's like she just wants out of her tub to hang out??? I'm totally confused here. I know a snake can't want to socialize but why would Kyna choose to crawl all over Mike and I over taking down a perfectly yummy prey item? She's normally a wonderful eater and an all round great BP. All the other snakes in the new BP room are eating except Kyna (and of course she's the one I want to get some size on....typical lol).
Should we stop handling her completely? We've cut down to minimal handling lately with her but she still seems to want out of her tub everytime I open it for any reason. Kyna was a pet snake all her life before we adopted her, so handled a lot as a baby and has always been the easiest BP to handle - never head shy, never balling up, that sort of thing.
Any suggestions or just wait it out and see if she'll just start eating again.
