If there were a respectful bone in your body Mr T...you wouldnt POACH another lads Clelia....but I'll not go there....[tho since you mentioned it... she is resting heavy w/ a nice DOR gopher snake as we speak :)]
Interesting point you bring forward on intermittant fasting...other colubrids & boar boids have done this for (to) me only during rut. I wonder why the guardians would do this at other times? Mojo never turns down a meal (nor I guess do I...)
Beautiful day here in Az, I have 3 of 9 rockboas basking under caprock in my outside enclosure... truly a beautiful sight :)

:HBT..While R2 MAY be right and all of his suggestions are excellent, don't get too worried if your snake doesn't look ill,has normal activity, respirations...Especially if he's a well established animal..My prize Dry's not infrequently go on hunger strikes for 1-2 months..We're talking 7-8 footers here, and then just become ravenous for a few weeks/months and then turn off again..I've never figured it out...Better men than I have the same experience..They also say a Dry will let yoou know when he's eaten enough(i.e. Can't overfeed them...Possibly right) If he's previously been the picture of health and has no exposures or visible symptoms, just check what RR said and if all seems well, don't sweat it...Don't get panic, give him some time, maybe increse temperature a couple of degrees...As they will eat anything, a different table fare may well be the ticket...Keeps us posted..Carl

:::Yo HB, unfortunately my friend...to get good advice...you must first do a bit of work :( :(, the good news is its w/ your fingers....
:::Your home location, detailed cage description & conditions/temp & moisture gradients/the history of your cribos feeding/shedding/activity habits all constitute minimum info. to get meanigful advice. A series of jpgs in a powerpoint file would be useful too.
:::Standing by, r-squared...

::::Hi people longtime no post; anyway my male is giving me an super-hard time about his feeding. He hasn't fed for me(or himself)in about a month.This is not him by a longshot, he won't take raw catfish(or any for that matter), no live fish, no rodents period. Do you think I should try feeder snakes or (quails), or rabbit pinkies. Help me people, share your knowledge with me asap
::::Thanx, Hassan-Abdul
