I will do a bit more reading. I should have mentioned that I'm not planning on breeding. Last year because I didn't have a means to put him into brumation, he lost weight. So I thought if I put him into brumation, slowing down his metabolism would prevent dramatic weight loss.



Besides don't most colubrids shut down on food this time of year anyway? So, wouldn't it be natural to brumate?



Thanks again.
