Hello!

Took a couple of photos of Kiemis before we turn out the heat pad in her vivarium for a few weeks to help her winter fast.

During the Yuletide celebrations, she got to eat a rat instead of the mice she commonly eats.

Kiemis is a beautiful and a friendly snake. I should take more photos of her after she's fasted.

See ya!

Does she lose a lot of weight when fasting?

I guess she does lose some weight, come to think of it we haven't actually weighed her at all.

Normally corn snakes eat every 2 weeks, but when in brumation they can go 2-3 months without eating at all.

I just read a study that surprisingly revealed that while they can lower their metabolism to conserve energy to the point that some snakes can go on without food even for 2 years, they do in fact grow in length when under long periods of starvation.
