Winter time. Even if if your snake room is temp correct. They know it's winter. They won't eat right. (regurgatating and such) This shorter day light has an overall effect on them. Cutting back on there food is normal for winter. Trying to feed at a normal pace through out the year is not normal. Think how they would be in the wild. You are trying to power feed through the winter. That's not normal. If your bio, clock says its Thanksgiving you eat. If it's winter your snake knows not to eat as much. Some with a strong feed response will over eat and thier body will regurg. Try not to think of how perfect you can recreate their perfect enviroment, but how to reproduce nature.
