If they are breeding now that would mean they lay their eggs in the middle of winter,wouldn't it? Last night was definately their last feed,even though the heat is still on and enclosure is 27 deg. one of my big girl Diamonds spewed her rat and mouse up about 3 or 4 this morning(coldest part of the night) so that's it for everyone now,she spoiled it for everyonelse,heat gets turned off in one week,no food between now and june or july.

Do you ever get your guys out (specifically diamonds) during Winter? If it's a nice sunny day, I'll get my diamonds out for a bit of sunshine.

Many of my snakes remain active during winter, especially bhps but thats because of mating.
I rarely handle any of my breeding snakes in winter except of introducing males etc.
