Posted - 22/01/2012 : 19:50:27 Loki's behaviour has changed, over the last week or so he has stopped coming out and having a wander around his faun. He I used to come out every evening about 9.30 and be very active and busy during feeding day but I haven't seen him out for a week or more. Any ideas why he has gone into hibernation? Could he be depressed? |

Posted - 22/01/2012 : 22:52:43 Could a shed just be on the way?
Maybe its a bit colder in your house at the moment with the colder weather.
Maybe its just a Royal Python!
I don't see any of my snakes, I know they are moving about, they are all eating and healthy they are just not active animals. I think there is a lot of confusion about active snakes, I look at an active snake as an unsettled snake, my lot do move about but they aren't what I would call active at all, I class that as content and feeling safe and secure. |

Posted - 22/01/2012 : 20:20:30 Hi, how old is Loki?
He may, even if he was born only last year, be starting to do the mating season fast. I find my royals are very antisocial at this time - they are different snakes entirely. This is completely normal - even if us humans feel rather rejected lol.
Alternatively he could be going into shed.
Whatever the reason, he will eventually return to being sociable Loki, I promise! |

Posted - 22/01/2012 : 20:00:27 My royal did the same, he used to come out most nights but now I rarely see him, he just sits in his hides. Which is what in the wild they spend Most of their time doing. I only really see him when it's feeding Time or when I get him out for some excersise He does however sit with his head out of his hide most nights
