I actually tried this last year on a female king I wanted to put more weight on to breed this year. The only difference is I turned off the heat for a month. It still worked. Personally I find it a chore to feed and clean all the time. I like the idea of a three month break. I still like spending time with the snakes though. During winter I still go in the snake room, look at them, handle them sometimes, and change their water all the time. If you don't mind the feeding and cleaning I don't blame you for wanting to use this method for now on. Your snakes will continue to grow and probably reach a larger size faster. BTW, loved your set up. You have some very nice Pits.
