breading season

Is it true that it is breeding season? My female hoggie has stopped eating again. It's been about 2 months. She seems happy and hasn't lost any weight. Just trying to look for an answer.

yes, this is breeding season, but that shouldn't cause a female to go off food (they should want more, in fact)

Unless she's been with a male and is gravid OR thinks she was with a male and is carrying slugs, both of which would be cause for her to go off feed.

Do you just have the one snake?

No, shes my only one. I've had her about a year now and last year about this time she didn't eat for about 3 or 4 months. Shes always been a picky eater, but she started eating regulary, now stopped again. Shes always very nervous and hides. Maybe shes just still little? I hardly take her out because i'm afraid shes scared of me

You could try scenting them. Get a toad, and rub the pinky all over the toad. The toad can be kept frozen, and used over and over.

ok, i think ill try that. Can I get the toads pre frozen? I'm not sure where they sell them.
I think my hoggie might be in shed mode...that could be another reason why she hasn't eaten.
