The lean season begins

[dakski]

I fed all the snakes this past weekend. That was the last of their regular biweekly feedings for the year. With the cooler temps arriving all my snakes will go to a 4-6 week feeding schedule except my female bullsnake. She'll still get a meal every 2-3 weeks. A couple of them will voluntarily go off feed from Nov.-March. Does anybody else slow down their feedings during the winter months?

I do not. However, I have a BP who regulates food herself in the winter, two growing boas, a growing Carpet Python, and corn snakes who I feed regularly all year.

If it works well for you, that's great. I've heard different things from different people and it depends on species, temps (lowering them, etc), breeding plans, and keeper preference.
