Danny to answer your question more fairly I would suggest night time dips with full access to daytime highs. Light cycle and feed schedule should also reflect "winter" conditions. They are a sub tropical to almost tropical animal with a body color that suggest they may bask even in the cold by sticking their heads out of rocks. If that is true or not I have had success with night time dips and daytime of full heat.

To put this in perspective I have never "cooled" any snake I have bred though I have altered their set up to "brumate" them or more accurately stimulate them into a winter mode via light cycle and feeding reduction and I have bred every snake I have ever tried to with this method, albeit altered for each species in one way or another. I have even effectively altered the season by light cycle alone.
