Message: <blockquote data-quote="nubka" data-source="post: 140011" data-attributes="member: 28298"><p>The first winter that we had our ball python, I was SO worried because he just stopped eating.  He usually goes from November to April/May without eating.  Now that I know it is normal behavior, I don't worry about it any more.  Once all our snakes and beardies stop eating, we wait for about two weeks to make sure that they go to bathroom and are empty.  Then we cover the window with a blanket, turn off the heater and lights, close the door, and off to brumation land they go, lol!  I usually check every few day to make sure that the have clean water, and that's about it until spring comes.</p></blockquote><p></p>
