    Re: Why isn't Kia eating?

    a skipped meal or two (or fast even) will not hurt a healthy, nicely sized BP.

Maybe a stupid question, but if they can retain it, maybe they can use it anytime they want. Lol.
    yes, they can retain sperm. that's why it's important to know your snake's history and the breeder's rep. was she breed @1300grams (or less)? if she was, she actually coulda been much smaller when she was initially bred, before u got her. that would not have been best practice or a good idea by any breeder standard to breed a small female.

    Edit: go back and ask. hopefully she wasn't bred and that she's off feed b/c she's a BP and BP's are fickle like that.
