I think I asked something similar last year but can't find it. Anyway, Most of my corns are very quiet at the moment. I hardly ever see them out and about even if they should be hungry or when I enter the room and turn the light on. I'm guessing that this is the time of year when some keepers think about brumating their snakes but is it possible for them to naturally slow down for the winter even in a thermostatically controlled house. Should I reduce how much they are being fed since they are not as active?

All my corns are hiding bar Swayze who is about 4yrs old. He just seems happy to lie at the front of his viv watching the world go by and tormenting the dog.

It just made me wonder as if theyy are not out as much then surely they are burning less energy and will need less food. Don't want em getting porky over the winter lol

My amel and snow yearlings have been very lazy recently, my 4 year old anery is always out, regardless of time of day/night/political climate
Carolina is as normal, and the fire hatchie is hiding, but only because she's in blue :)

I was going to mention that too. My snakes have been more active lately!

A thread here for snakes taking it easy, and another thread for snakes getting excited. Bizarro! lol

I asked that very question at the reptile centre I use and was informed that unless you intend to brumate just feed as normal. I have noticed mine are exactly the same as yours, really seem to have slowed down over the last week or two
