Female colubrid feeding patterns after breeding (???)
Will the female's feeding pattern change after she mates? Will it increase? Or does she typically eat less or stop eating? What should I expect?
I have African house snakes (colubrids). I have read that egg laying occurs 55 to 70 days after breeding.
What might I expect or what is most likely? More eating? Less eating? Or refusing food at a certain stage in the process?
If given a choice and if she were willing, I would be happy to offer her food often. That said, I've not done this before?
Thanks for your time.
