Hunger Strike

[Rocialhabit]

So I have a full grown Cal Kingsnake and she hasn't eaten in about 3 weeks. Previously I had been feeding her f/t fuzzy mice or hoppers and she didn't have a problem with that. It was not uncommon for her to miss a week here and there but its been about 3 and I am kinda concerned. She doesn't look skinny. In fact she looks the same as she did weeks ago. So I was wondering if this can be normal for them or should I try something different.

I wouldn't worry she will be back eating in no time.

Full grown Cal Kingsnake? How many grams is she? Fuzzy mice seem like they would be too small for her.

My corn snake is full grown and she snarfs Jumbo mice now.

Kings are typically little garbage cans. My girl is a garbage can unless she's stressed, but she typically still eats if left alone.

Time and patience. I've had mine stop eating for a few weeks here and there.

I'm sure by now the strike has ended, but I figured I'd throw my 2 cents in since I've been through this also. It's nothing to worry about, as long as she doesn't lose any weight. My MBK, Mopar, goes through "hunger strikes" too... eventually your Cali king will pick up to eating just like before. Kingsnakes are typically great eaters and I've heard they have fast metabolisms, but I'm not sure if that's true.
Good luck, hope to hear that everything is on the up-and-up
