If you have a quail snake, you may want to provide thawed quail as a part of its diet. Quail are a great source of different nutrients for predatory animals. Since most animals can’t get all of their nutrients from the same food, they should get a varied diet that contains quail. Depending on the species, quail can provide many benefits to these animals.
Changing weather affects a quail snake’s appetite
Scientists have studied how changing weather affects the appetite of quail snakes. Changing weather can also lead to changes in species’ distributions. According to a study by Lusk, J.J., and F.S. Guthery, northern bobwhite quail may experience up to 75% increase in range from 2001-2075. Because of their natural tolerance to high temperatures, they may adapt to climate change better than other species. Scaled quail, on the other hand, cannot survive temperatures above 45degC/113degF. Increased temperatures could lead to the loss of water, as they are dependent on succulent plants for water.
The type of enclosure your pet lives in may influence its appetite. If its habitat is too large, it might stress it out. Reptiles prefer small, dark areas to hide and regulate body temperature. However, large enclosures may lead to increased stress and reduced appetite. Changing the type of feeders is a way to break a corn snake’s food strike. A new feeder with a different type of prey may be just what your snake needs to increase its appetite.
