why wouldnt they...

Well, not eating for extended periods of time CAN indicate stress, as well as other things. Aggressive behavior can indicate stress.. constant moving around the enclosure can indicate either an animal not satisfied with it's enclosure, or a male looking for a mate..

What are you trying to say? (yes, I am slow)

constant moving around the enclosure can indicate either an animal not satisfied with it's enclosure, or a male looking for a mate..

my male zulu has been cruisin around his encloser. not a lot just maybe like *puts think cap on* a half hour every week or so. and he started doin that last time he didnt feed. do you think he's trying to find a mate?

[Shelby]

It's possible. If he's a baby though, unlikely.

A half hour a week isn't a lot.. and it may just mean he's hungry. My mom's corn snake comes out every friday looking for dinner.

[mr~python]

yeah the half hour is off. let me think again lol. probably about an hour every half week. i dont know if he's hungry or not cuz last time i offered him food he went after it but when he got like 3-5 inches away he like lost interest or something. then it ran away and i pulled it out. not a baby he's 1602 grams, used to be 1680 after his last feed 2 weeks ago. my female is 800 grams, could it be that she is fasting because of something to do with breeding season?

[Shelby]

Sure it's possible.

[mr~python]

man! if only she was big enough!

[Shelby]

lol patience. I have two snakes that are big enough, but I couldn't find a mate for them.. that's almost worse.
