WOW, that's quite a setup! Those overcast WA days are the best for photos anyway, especially the "bright" overcast that you get when the sun is trying to poke through. I lived in extreme SW Washington (Long Beach) back in the 80s and remember those conditions all too well.

As for gophers, they are my personal favorite among all Pituophis and I really like Pacifics. Don't be surprised if yours does not feed again until March or so. Perfectly normal for a wild caught or a captive bred even when you keep them up for the winter months.

Cheers!
