In light of your response, it sounds like the temperature issue wasn't the problem I suspected it to be. Like Jeff said, each snake has individual preferences (as I'm sure you're finding out with 6 pueblans). The key is to be observant and cater to what the snakes want. As for what it takes in terms of temp. and duration of cooling to "reset" a snake... that's also highly variable: it differs between populations (subspecies) and is likely to be different for different biological functions (whether you're trying to restart the feeding response or cycle the animals for breeding, etc.).

Basically, pay attention to your animals and don't be afraid to post your questions. The folks on this forum are a friendly lot, and can be a wealth of information.
