Can a snake that goes through a period of decreased activity or a seasonal slow down still eat occasionally? I ask this because when I used to have a ball python it would stop eating completely at certain times of the year. My bull snakes seem to have slowed down but haven't completely stopped eating. Some weeks they won't eat and when I try later they eat. It seems pretty sporadic. They used to both be savage beasts when I would drop a thawed mouse in the cage. Now they just kind of sniff it and may only eat it after I walk out of the room for a few. I was just seeing what others experience is with the whole seasonal thing.
