    Feeding after food strike due to cold
    My bp stopped eating because the temps in his enclosure became too low for proper digestion. My setup wasn’t equipped for the temperature changes in my house during the winter but I brought a heater into the room and got higher watt ceramic heat bulb (non light emitting). The temps are correct now but I am wondering when I should offer food to my snake again? I assume it may take him a few days at the proper temperatures before he is able to eat but I’m not sure how long exactly and of course I’m eager to get a meal in him. If anyone has experience with this I’d appreciate suggestions.

    While I haven't been "in your shoes", I'd say in general to wait 2 weeks for him to trust that the temperatures have stabilized. And I'd also wait until he acted like he was looking for food, doing his "ambush hunting" routine in the evening hours. Of course, some of this depends on just how cold he actually got, but just observe him, I think you'll know.
