Adam,

It has been an unusually warm year, but I wouldn't change anything yet. It's only March 1st. Keep your snakes in the dark and as cool as possible for the next month to give them the best chance possible to breed successfully. I've had the same problems but chilled mine since about mid November.
I've seen it be warm all winter and then suddenly get very cold and snowy. I've seen huge amounts of snow in southern Colorado and NM well into late April. Actually March is one of the most active months for snowfall in Colorado. Stay tunned.
