Snakes And Winter Feeding
Its that time a year again with the cold weather setting in and the dark nights. Most people with sub adult & adult snakes will be experiencing there snake knocking off feeding and turning there nose up at it. Also there feeding patterns becoming irregular, I have a snake that does this every winter. She's finicky and it happens. I can remember when it first happened and it freaked me out so much.

Senate EPW Hearing- HR669/S373 Reptile Ban!
Just in from USARK...
WARNING: Senate EPW Hearing- HR669/S373 Reptile Ban!
The Senate Committee on the Environment & Public Works (EPW) is planning a hearing for the 8th of July following the holiday break. The Committee Chair is Senator Barbara Boxer (D) of California. It will actually be a joint hearing in front of two subcommittees; Senate Water & Wildlife and the EPW Oversight. The topic for discussion will be Threats to Native Wildlife Species. We believe this will be a precursor to the introduction of a new Senate version of HR669. S373 will also likely be discussed. Although we do not want to assume her position, Senator Boxer has strong historical ties to the Animal Rights and Environmental movements that are pushing for this hearing.

Violet
Where to begin with her. She's my Mexican Black Kingsnake. Always wanted one and finally did pick one up when I was at the Columbia show this past November. She wasn't always a finicky eater. Would pound down pinkies like the rest of them.

Eat Snake Eat!
Seriously not enjoying the Kings lack of want for food. She's been off for 18 days and I'm happily wasting pinkies on her. Going to try braining soon. Maybe a corn scented live one. We;ll see, all I know is I don't like them not eating.
