Like the others said, just brumate them and start again in the spring. I have six baby pyros that hatched in early July and that have all eaten at least three times, but now not even a lizard can tempt them, so off to winter sleep they go. This is their nature. Next year I am going to bring my breeder pyros out of brumation later so as to have the babies hatch later, so less time until brumation. That way they wont run the risk of losing too much weight between hatching and brumation.



If you want snakes that will eat straight out of the egg, while in blue, and once a week like clockwork, try bull snakes. Baby bulls are good therapy after dealing with baby pyros! LOL!
