Captive bred snakes that have never been brumated are much easier to brumate out of season. Because their internal clocks have not been set. It's like it's harder to lock someone in a opaque room who has been outside for most of their life, and tell them what time it is, then it is to tell someone what time it is who was born in that room. They have no sense of time of day. They could be falling asleep at 10PM or 10AM. But once you turn off the lights, they will think that it is night time. Speaking metaphorically of course.
