Not that any advice would change, but what ssp of milk is he? Just curious. I brumate most of my snakes, but will keep hatchlings and sub-adults up for the winter if they continue to feed. This is the time in their lives when they are growing fast and will consume a good amount of food. I would offer at least two appropriate sized meals per feeding. With a good hot spot and properly sized food items, I would feed him every four to five days. If he is searching for food he is obviously hungry. (if that is what is going on here) Just my two cents. Hell, I wish my snakes would continue to feed all winter. (sub adults and hatchlings at least)

Joe
