Most of my snakes have decided to stop feeding since early October. I weighed everyone that had stopped eating and then put them in the brumation room. High temperatures will make their metabolism rev too high, hence causing too much weight loss if they are not eating. I still have three young adults who are consistently eating, and those I am not brumating. Also have five August hatching gophers which are still feeding, so am not brumating them, either. Weighing them on the gram scale helps me keep track, and avoid anybody getting too thin. Just eye balling the snakes doesn't work for me.
