You could also try hibernating him for the winter. I am doing that with my snakes this year, for the first time. Traditionally North American keepers start the cycle on Thanksgiving and take them out around Valentines Day. This of course sets them up for breeding but some feel that it is beneficial to your guys health. I have found that my males in particular stop eating in the winter anyway, so i am giving it a try this year. Also I am feeding a collection of 15 snakes BP's, corns and hogs, so hibernating saves about 3 months of food cost. Only 2 of my young corns are staying out for the winter.
