Not eating - in season?

[ruraldean]

For two years running my male ghost has stopped eating for up to two to three months. He's housed in the same room is a female amel, and last year they successfully bred.

It appears to me that the male is so lust-ridden that eating goes off his radar. As the year progresses he will start to eat again. My son has the same problem with his male snake, with a female similarly housed. The vivs are a good 10 feet apart, but my male spends all his time strolling back and forth and gazing wistfully through the glass. I understand how he might feel because I had a neighbour once who had the same effect on me but since the restraining order I've been better.

Is this behaviour normal? (The snake goddamit, not me).

Yes, it sounds very normal.


It has to do with the scent of a woman.
Oh...that's right, we're not talking about you!! lol

Your post made me laugh so hard.
