Oh my dear God you are the cutest snake I have ever laid eyes upon

Pretzel flicks his tongue happily in a way I will interpret as “thanksssssss” :P

Hello! I have a question. My hog hasn't eaten since March. He isn't losing any weight but he stopped pooping all together and he's not full of his usual piss and vinegar anymore. I have tried everything, including live, prekilled, f/t, scenting, braining, etc. nothing has changed in his terrarium (inc. heat/humidity) since before he went off feed. The guy at the reptile shop told me hogs hibernate half the year but I'm not too entirely sure. Is this normal? Do you have any advice for me?

I have heard that some hogs can go off their food, usually during the cold months, and I’ve heard males can be particularly difficult when it comes to randomly going off their food.  Unfortunately though I don’t have a huge amount of experience in this area and, if it were me, I’d probably err on the side of caution and take a trip to the vet?

(But I invite my followers to chime in with any more helpful advice, as most of them are faaarrrr more knowledgeable than me.)

I'm gonna be trying to get a snake soon! Little cornsnake, any tips on snake care, Pretzel?

Ahh congrats!  :D

As Pretzel is my one and only snake, I’m not hugely knowledgeable about cornsnakes specifically; however, for non-specific hints and tips I answered a similar sort of question here.  My main piece of advice is always to do looooaaaads of your own research in advance and always be open to learning new things, because snakes are certainly a learning experience if you’ve never owned one before!

Good luck with your new noodle!  :D

(If anyone who owns corns would like to add any corn-specific advice, go right ahead!)

Pretzel you are my favorite snake <3 (And human who owns pretzel you're amazing <3 )
