hi there, hope someone can offer some advice!
fidget has been constantly climbing all over his tank for about 6 weeks now, he doesnt seem to sleep or stop at all, always just seems to be looking for a way out ( which he actually found when my mother was looking after him while we were away lol)
even after he has been fed, he is still out and about after about an hour when usually he disappears for about 2 days when hes been fed!
then last night when i took him out his tank to feed him, he wouldnt touch his food!! left him in his RUB for about an hour n a half n was just too busy looking for a way out. food ended up in the bin!
anyone any ideas whats up with him?
thank you |

| Maybe horny and more interested in a mate than food, my snake has been doing exactly the same, just offer food once a week as you normally would, mine started eating again yesterday so panic not |

| Mine didnt do it last year i think due to him being very young, must of matured a bit lol, obviously it could be something else causing it but mine is doing same, just give it a while and just offer food at usual interval and see what happens if all else seems normal |

| He looks very healthy from the pics certainly not too thin just right I would say and probably looking for a mate. My Sid is acting the same hasn't eaten for 4 weeks and now and very, very active. I don't expect Sid to eat now until mid may. He did exactly the same this time last year. Looking for a mate lol. |
