So what am I assuming here? its your report, all I can do is look at what you said, no more, no less. The point, you stated, it was brumating. You stated the temps. You stated it laid four days out of brumation. the Simple deduction is, she was in active reproduction mode, which is not bromating. Therefore, you can call it anything you want, but the result was her laying eggs. Which is not brumating. Its part of a active reproductive cycle.

What is interesting to me is, the snakes I am watching in the field, are about a month to month and a half, ahead of schedule.

Whats important is, terms like hibernation/brumation, etc, are terms defined by the state of the animal, not by putting it in a room or cage at a certain temp. And calling it something.Again, By the condition of the animal. In this case, your hog was telling you, it was not hibernation/brumating. How she made her point was, she dropped eggs right after(4days) out of condition your calling bromating. The normal reproductive cycle ranges from aprox 30 days to over 40. So her body was active for that amount of time.

Lastly, fighting with me or saying I am assuming this or that, will not change the facts, she laid eggs 4 days out of brumation.
