Hi

Does snakes (maccie) eats in the coolest period? For some snakes 21^C is ok temp for digesting but I don't know is it right for Anteresia.

Generally no, i wouldnt feed any snake while in brumation, the idea of the cooling period is for them to go into tupor.
So no, dont unless there is a reason for it, i.e. sickness, or you are finding that they are losing a lot of body weight quickly, that being the case you would need to increase the heat, and get them to a vet

There's really no need to feed them during brumation, but if you do you should bump your temps up to 30 degrees until the meal has been digested.

the snake knows whether it will eat or not. i have fed childrens through winter but with heat on sitting at 30c but then the power went off over night and a few regurged but some didnt whetehr it was warmer in some parts of the rack i dont know but the room temp dont go below 18c
the answer is if it is too cold the snake wont eat but if it does it more than likly throw it up BUT not all ways so be care full when feeding in lower temps not that i know why u would want to any way it is not a wise thing to do

Thanks for the answers - this is what I want to know. So decided not to feed my maccie. I the other way some snakes will eat even at 22C (E.schrencki) and digest meal normally but it is very different snake...
Cheers
