The male has eaten pretty well until recently. I always thought the seasonal shut down wouldn't happen till they were a few years old. I was just looking for some input. These are my first pituophis so I don't entirely know what to expect in my month and a half of experience with them.
    How long have you had them?

    What temparature are you keeping them at?

    What size are the prey items in relationship to the snake? What are you feeding him? Are you leaving the prey items in the enclosure with him?

    What has the temperature been doing where you live? Is it getting colder? Is it raining?
