Everybody has different set up. My set up is in a building that has minimal insulation so the actual room temps are similar to what is going on outside. A person who keeps his snakes in the living room would not be able to use my examples.
I keep the heat on my snakes but the room gets down to freezing. The snakes still choose the cool side and rarely sit on the heat. They basically seek out what they think is right.
Right now 3/4 of my 2007 hatchlings have shut down from eating. They were in very 'hot' containers so what this means I have some in containers with heat turned up all the way and some with moderate heat. The ones that are feeding have the shelves with heat tape turned all the way up. I want them to feed since they are 2007 hatchlings but you cannot force a snake to stay hot if it gives up eating. So some are in a brumation state and some are not. All my adults have the heat turned on low in case they want to sit and warm up but they mostly stay away from the heat unless the temps drop below 45F. I actually feed some of my females during winter if I think they need it.
