BTW, the way the folds in his skin appear in the last photo is what suggests to me that he's going into shed- it can be very difficult to tell when you have a white or very pale snake- especially if you miss noticing their eyes being cloudy, but in gets easier with practice.

    (Re 5* F.- I hope you were referring to the outdoor temperature, not in your house & where the snake is located? It's been a crazy winter for sure- I've seen MINUS 5*F. here- outside, of course. And not counting the wind chill factor.)
    good lord no. That’s the outdoor temp. But our house is having a hard time keeping up on the inside, as well as noodles heaters. His mat is set at 92 and is consistently holding at around 90. But yeah he’s been tucked away since his last meal. I got him out to check on him and feed him. Everyone’s been hiding in their warm spots. We live in the southern United States, so there is no part of us or our infrastructure that is used to any of this bitter cold.
