I too have a wild-caught speckled who's probably a year or so old, so has already hibernated one winter outdoors here in southern Louisiana. Over the summer it was eating lizard-flavored pinky mice (I'd get an anole to bite a dead pinky), then "unflavored" pinkies. But by late October, the snake was refusing all mice, though it would still happily gobble up small anoles.



As with the other speckled, the house temp doesn't drop below 65 degrees at night--should I go ahead and unplug the heating pad?



Thanks--
