Winter fast?

Hello all, been gone for a bit, but back to bug you all again for help.
My snake has been on a 6 week fast, I know no reason to worry. The thing is it is winter here, although the temp in the tank is the same 28-32C and the apartment is about 25-28C all the time. Wonder if they can tell the seasons change. I am going away for 3 weeks, and am eager for her to eat before I go, any ideas or advice?
Thanks all Been real busy (work & school) missed the site.

From what I understand, if they can see natural daylight, they will know it's sleepy-bye time! :-)

My snakes weren't cooled over winter, but they still went off their food.

My opinion is that she have winter sleep, Leve her sleep if she do not want to eat, do not push it. She will get apetite in spring.
Mabe some other people will have different opinion.
In about 3 weeks I would increase temp little and make longer light period for day so your snake think is spring and you will see the difference.
