Hasn't eaten since January

[Skiploder]

I think it has to do with the fact that many hognose keepers keep them like they do other North American colubrids... They require much more heat and dryer conditions... They also eat much more frequently than other colubrids...

I have 7 hogs at the moment... None of them ever miss a meal... The many I kept in the 90's never went off feed either... I am certain it has much to do with temps...

At one point I had 2 male nasicus and 4 females and 3 male kennerlyi and 3 females.

Every November, regardless of the fact that I did not brumate my hogs or change their enclousure temps, the majority of the juvenile and especially adult males would go off feed. I get the same behavior out of my other colubrids - especially the cribos.

Around February, the males would all be back on feed. While temperature plays a huge role in reptile mating and eating behaviors, I think it also has to do with the changes in barometric pressure. Barometric pressure has been shown to play a much larger role in reptile behavior than previously realized.........
