Joe,

I've got a bit of a more staggered approach. I have Russian Ratsnakes and a Rubber Boa that went off feed last month, so they're currently on the floor in the basement closet.

I have several different sizes of snakes which eat several different sizes of foods, so sometimes it's a matter of running out of something like fuzzy rats and turning off the heat for those snakes.

There are a few snakes that I'm still growing up that will eat throught the winter as long as their heat tape in on. In general I like to shut things down completely by Thanksgiving, but there are times when I'd like to get more size on a snake, so I keep it up until Christmas.

I also have amphibians, water turtles and box turtles that I cool down as well, but I tend to wait until January for that.
