    Re: Frustration in feeding

    your snake might also be trying to brumate (hibernate)....lots of adults will go off feed this time of the year. its common. you may need to cool her down for a month or so to simulate the winter cool down and then warm her up, will get her appetite going again

    If you decide to do this, get as much info as you can. You do not want to harm your snake by brumating improperly or coming out of brumation too quickly.

    Well I have darnit! At any rate, it can't do any harm if you can manage to take a few days to bring them up 20 degrees.
