i'm curious about this so thought i'd ask.........
those of us that have snakes that regularly skip a feed for no apparent reason eg. eat for 3 weeks, skip the 4th, does this correspond with the phase of the moon? does my/your snake skip a feed on a full moon? or no moon?
i'm going to start recording this because i've got nothing better to do with Queenie and Marilyn as they are my best two examples that display this sort of feeding (ir)regularity.
thoughts please, and stats if or when you have them would be much appreciated 
of course i could be researching complete b&ll&cks, lol  |

that could be a very valid point GP...moons do have an effect so why not on snakes?
i cant help there, well maybe i can cos little Niali is a right pain to feed sometimes...whens the next full moon/? |

| Sounds like a good theory It will be interesting to see what you find. |

I do GP, none of mine fed the weekend, but i was stressed out (kids) so it was probably that which caused it and they would have easily picked it up.. |
