I know I've mentioned this before. But I want to know from all you breeders out there:

If you have snakes that are approaching breeding weight,
1. Do they go through long periods of not eating?
2. How long does this last?
3. What months of the year does this happen?

Caspie has been fasting for 3 months now, and it's driving me nuts. Especially since I really would like to bump her over 1500g within the next year for breeding. I'm trying to figure out if this is normal boy-crazy female behavior... or if there's something wrong. She's only lost 35 grams from February to June (she is now 1382 grams). Please help ease my mind!!
