I bred them several years in a row, and never formally brumated them.
I treated them much like I did my pythons, just giving them a month or so of lowered night time temps (high 60's)
Eventually, I just didn't do anything other than introduce them in the fall,and they still produced fertile clutches with good hatch rates.
Only tip that I feel is of any real value is with the incubation of the eggs.
They seem to be a bit thicker shelled, and through my own experiences and discussions with others, the use of sphagnum moss around the eggs seemed to help, due to acidity or something like that.
when I noticed one or two pipping, i'd give them another 10 hours and any that didn't pip on their own, i'd manually cut small slits.
hope that is of some use to you
