April, this is good advice. I am guilty alot of times of regurgitating info. I always say Feb, but I never try and feed cooled snakes until they show some activity, and where I live this is in March. In other words, I don't warm them up until they themselves act like they are ready. That is what Bluerosy is saying I think, and it really works best IMO.
And how do I know when? Well, first the snakes are a bit more active. Then I try a thawed mouse, and if the snake snatches it up while still cool, then the snake is ready for a basking spot. That simple. Where I live this occurs somewhere in March for most of the western North American colubrids and rosyboas that I have kept. Where you live it may be slightly different. Good luck.
