AND I'M FREAKING OUT. Most of my snakes are refusing food; Fatty not included. I intended to start cooling them down at the end of the month: Now I think the snakes have decided they're going to brumate right NOW.

So, I'm looking at next next week Monday as d-day for putting them in the fridge.
My main question though is, should I keep their temps up right now?
The males are already cool-er. They'll be moved to the basement next week, and then they'll be put into the fridge, but the females are all "crammed" into a communal tank with temps in the low 80's. They've been given their last meal opportunity today.
So do I keep the temps up and let them metabolize the meals fast, or should I let them digest the stuff slowly and let the temps drop to room temp?
