here are a couple of things i would suggest checking on:



1. Make sure that the snakes environment is humid enough. This time of year the humidity in the air goes way down. Cold weather mixed with heating a house just sucks the life right out of the air. I use a humidity gage along with cypress mulch as a substrate and some moss in the hidebox and actually have to mist once or twice a day (very heavily) to keep the environment and air above desert levels.



2. check the temperature levels. If the snake is getting a little colder this time of year then i think that she will have a response with her metabolism slowing down. I believe you may have a similar response if the environment becomes warmer also, as a result of household heating being increased.



keep the air moist and outdoors like as much as possible.



good luck. Beyond that i am sure that there are specific problems and things that happen (especially with female egg producing snakes)that many others on this forum would know much more about but the environment would be my first cause for concern.
