I started cooling my snakes this season. They are all empty and as temperature is naturally dropping I just set thermo to winter minimum.
I hope they will have nice rest. |

I'm still feeding anything that will take a feed,but one or two more weeks for the bhp's and a while yet for jungles.I'm lucky being in Nth Qld as i just turn everything off over winter other than juveniles etc and just let nature take it's course  The temps have dropped quite quickly so i suspect most adults will go off food soon...

I need help with cooling my Shinglebacks, this is the first year i will have to cool something and just want to know what is involved?
Will i still feed them?
What temp should it drop to?

This is the first year for us too. We're just dropping temps for everything bit by bit. the carpets out the back have no extra heat source but are still eating ok. |

In our area the temp is still getting to high 20's to low 30's, makes it a bit hard to cool anything when enclosure temps are still running at around 20-25 deg when heating is off. Winter will eventually turn up and all will be fine. Excuse the pun, it will be OK. |

many people do cool differently and there is no exact recommended temperature. You have to just choose what you think is right. |
