There is no law or rules that you the keeper have to follow. Your allowed to change conditions to fit the animals you have.

Or you can let your very restricted conditions(compared to what they are designed for) stay the same and continue to have individuals that do not fit them suffer.

I am new to hogs, but they they consume large prey items both in nature and captivity. That one of you said, they only eat pinkies or fuzzies, is silly to the design of the animal. All of mine eat mice, even small hogs try.

So its something the keeper is doing or not doing. And its your choice.

As fall sets in, wild snakes move to warmer conditions. Particularly the next years breeders. They do anything they can to stay active for as long as they can.

Around here, surface activity is not restricted by winter cold, its restricted by lack of humidity, it get bone dry from Jan to the start of the rains in July, august. Yet by the time the rains start, the females have already bred and laid eggs. Best wishes
