for my kings and corns...

i feed very heavy through Sep, I cut back feeding and available light the first half of Oct, stop feeding and turn off the heat leaving the snakes in a 72 degree room the 2nd half of Oct, I move the snakes down to my basement which gets anywhere from low 50s to mid 60s on Nov 1st.

Usually mid Jan i'll start warming them up and start feeding early Feb.

works great for cals, deserts, corns, and great plains rats.

i started this method because of 2 wc desert kings i had... thats when they would naturally go off feed and come back on so i just added in the cooling variable.
