Hi, can you expand a little on them 'shutting off early'?

Although not new to snake keeping I have my first king & first Z. multicincta. She's eating like a champ, but I'm curious what conditions would cause her to take a break for the winter. She was a little thin when I got her and I have no history on her other than she was brought into a pet store when a family tired of her. Would you recommend giving her as much as she will take now in preparation for winter or just play it by ear?

Thanks!
