Re: Diamond Python?
General consensus over here is people tend to over-feed their captive reptiles. When we've had hatchies we fed them every 7 days, gradually stretching it to 10 as they grew, then fortnightly. Our pythons are all adults now, and we feed them 4-6 weeks during the warmer months. We tend to slow it down as the weather cools.
If your pythons look like they are going into brumation, don't feed at all, but if they just slow down I'd recommend stretching the feeds out for sure.
Re your temps, if your winters aren't too cold (no snow lol) I would think a couple of degrees less heat or shorter heat times would be good. Mimicking nature can only be good for our kept pythons IMO.
