Girl Ball Pythons off feed?

Hey guys, it is weird. All of my really good feeder female balls have gone off feed since probalby october now. Once in a while one will eat but for the most part only the males and younger ones eat every week. I didn't breed this year but bred the past two. Is it possible they think it is breeding season and that is why they are not eating? Any input would be great.

Yupper...

Even if they were not cooled down or anything? I heard they react to the winter season is this what is happening? It is annoying because I want to get them well ready for next season.

I've never cooled mine and they almost always go off feed during the winter...could be due to shorter daylight hours...

ok, good to know. Guess this is normal. Kind of thought due to only the girls missing food. Thanks for your input.
