Since this is an Indigo forum I thought I would start with the Cribos.

The weather here in Kansas has gotten down to 55F. I have left my captive hatched Unicolor male in the Indoor outdoor enclosure since he is the one who has adjusted the best. He sometimes will go outside when you mess with him but is smart enough to zip right back inside where it is warm (data I was curious about) my wild caught female did spend part of one night out at 60F with no ill effects.

I will get pics as all the Pseustes and Crebos did very well in the enclosures when alone. I will be locking the doggie door when temps get near freezing. WARNING there MUST be two doggie doors if two snakes are using the same cage I lost a spare male Pseustes when the female blocked access for him to come back in, he got too hot. That was my only setback.

My Ptyas eat and process food every two to three days (scary). I have 21 of them and not one has ever refused a meal. They like the temp between 86 and 90 as mine are neonates and thriving at that temp. They all just finished the first shed while in my care and are on meal #7.

I have noticed that Pseustes like to be 90F also while my tropical Cribos are thriving around 86F eating like pigs and no regurgitation. My Pseustes have been finicky feeders until I raised the ambient temps now they all eat like pigs.

That is all I can think of for now………Bill
