No, I am not asking for help.

The sheer amount of threads around at the moment about snakes not eating is exasperating. It gets a bit tedious repeating the same information time and time again.

Around this time of year, many snakes will stop eating due to the weather cooling down. These snakes tend to begin eating again once the temperatures begin rising again. If you want to keep feeding your snakes during Winter, then turn their heat up, and moniter the temperatures. Between 28-33*C is excellent for feeding. You may need to provide night heat as well, such as a low wattage heat mat or cord on which the snake can lay on.

It may also depend on where you are. Snakes kept in NSW and Victoria tend to refuse feeds more than snakes kept in North Queesland.

If the day and night temperatures are high, and the snake is still not eating, then it is time to make a thread and ask for advice.

If you're unsure, please, please use the Search function at the top of the page and find appropriate information before you ask a question that has been repeated SO many times before.
