One question which was not addressed was the one asking if you or anyone knew of someone who was set on the notion they killed a snake during brumation by cooling it with too much food in its stomach?

This is something I have heard people speak of,,,but it is always an assumption. It is one of the common "myths OR truths" snake guys occasionally argue over just like the talk of how overfeeding shortens a snakes life span. Yet I have never met anyone who actually thought they did this???

These discussions between the regulars on this forum can be very interesting because we have a few guys who are speaking from their own experiences...and that is waaaaaaaaaaaaay different that just saying things without having any evidence to back it up. Now back to my unanswered question....what I have seen on a few occasions was this. A giant fresh normal looking pile of crap in my brumation box during a fairly cold time of the winter. As well as shed skins. This kind of contradicts the common uninvestigated outlook of what snakes are supposed to be doing in winter...which is right on topic as of late so what do you guys think????
