They stopped eating with the cold, wet weather

I expected them to slow down some with cooler weather, but they all suddenly stopped eating at the same time. How do they know it's cold and raining outside anyway? The temps and humidity are the same as always in their cages.

Air pressure changes.

Ah, that explains it! I guess I'll thaw another rat in a few days. Hopefully one of them will take it so I don't have to throw it away.

Barometric pressure can have an effect on eating and breeding so I usually prey for some sort of storm when I'm about to pair up.

I havent tried feeding my snake yet since the cold weather has come in..

I have only fed her once and that was almost a week ago. Should I wait a few extra days to make sure shes extra hungry or should I just try and feed her on my regular schedule (on Sundays)

Do all snakes react to weather/climate change?

If I'm not pairing ill feed the same schedule for a while. If they show no interest at all for a while ill move to a ten day schedule
