Off feed?

Anyone elses adult pythons starting to go off food yet?

5 stimsoni are off, 3 childreni are off, 3 BHPs are off, 1 bredli is off, 2 macs are off, 1 water is off. Everything else is still on the chew.

We've had some cool nights here so i guess they are feeling it through the glass. My stimsoni normally go off before anything, the others a bit earlier than normal.

1.3 childreni and 1 female fuscus are off their tucker so far. Matings have already been observed starting around a month ago.

I haven't even started to cool my stuff yet, but I'm in QLD. Going to give 3-4 big feeds over the next 3 weeks and then turn all the heat off.

Most of my snakes ate tonight and I will get some chooks tomorrow and that will be it. I will turn off the heat in a week or 2.

Mine are all still very allert and looking at me for more food.
Might put the coastels and the bredli outside see how they react out there.
The ambient temp in my snake/computer room is 29deg ans it is 11:00pm my time 12:00 daylight saving time.
I'm actually sweating in here.
Good luck to everyone trying to breed their rep's this season.

My maccy thought long and hard about the chick I gave her on Sunday night, but it was gone on Monday morning. However, my Coastal snatched her mouse straight out of my hand without any hesitation.
