Not eating

[Sirhc401]

Simple as this. I have a juvi kingsnake that has been eating fine. Once a week. I give it a frozen fuzzie. I have not changed anything and out of the blue, he has not touched food for 3 weeks. He is not sick and not shedding. What could be the problem? I'm assuming it is insecurity. But then why would he eat fine before and decide now that he is insecure?

Kingsnakes will go "off food" during the colder months. How long have you had it and how old is it?

It could for sure be the colder weather. My snakes will "slow down" their eating during the cold months here.

same with my tegu he is slowing down but dont worry your king snake will be fine try to feed it every week

He is almost 2 feet. I think he is about a year. I have had him for 9 months. Like tegus who even if their temperature does not change will hibernate, will king snakes decide to slow their eating even with no change?

Yes it is biological, it just happens.

Okay. Makes sense. I'll offer him his food every week and if he eats or not is up to him. Thanks for the help
