:Hi Randy,
: I have a question regarding the breeding of Cave-Dwelling Ratsnakes...
: Should they be fed during the temperature-cycling period?
: This issue has never been satisfactorily clarified for me.

:Thanks for your time.

: Simon


:Hey Simon,
The taeniura that I dont brumate but just drop the temps a little are fed about every other time compared to what I would feed them the rest of the year. I usually feed them about once a week. If I have a female that does not feed well for a while after laying eggs she will get fed more when she is feeding good. During the temp drop time I feed them about every 14 days or so.
If I have a female that I think could use a little more weight for egg laying I might offer her food about every 10 to 12 days during the temp drop time(not large meals).
Good Luck!
Randy W.
