I think our Sichuans are related, haha. Mine are still a little young. I may wait another year.

Yeah, the weather has been weird this winter. We didn't have any snow cover til mid-Jan, then it started to get cold afterwards. The past couple weeks have been bitter and the cold tolerant snakes have had their exposure to 45-50*F. I didn't brumate most of mine until near January, however. It will probably be a few more weeks of real cold, I'd think. Looks like we'll be breeding near the end of March this year.

We have close to a foot of snow cover, but nothing like western NY. Lot of lake affect around L. Ontario. I've had a chance to work in the woods and have all my new wood cut for next year. Also have all the ponds ready, brush trimmed, etc, and waiting for spring. The frogs and toads should be happy.

Nice to see ya over at the new ratsnake site. Take care...
