One other thing I do- one bedroom has many of my snakes in, & I often leave the shades down & drapes closed until later morning, so they can "sleep in"-But don't stress if you can't do that.
So while I'm thinking about it, in case you ever notice that your snake wants to fast in winter: Many snakes are in tune with day-length (along with cooler temperatures) to know when to refuse food & brumate to survive the chill of winter. Days are noticeably shorter in winter.
Getting caught with food in their stomach when it's too cold to digest can sicken & kill a wild snake- so that's how this instinct of refusing food in chilly weather came about- those that ate anyway, just died off & didn't reproduce. So one way to forestall winter fasting in your pet is to artificially length their day with lights- so there ya go.
