>>What is a good temp range for the brumation? Is December to Feb 1st a good time period?

I feed them their last meal around 1 November, the Thanksgiving weekend I unplug the adult racks, about a week later I open the window to the room a couple inches and then check water weekly until Valentines day when everything gets plugged back in and I give them all a small meal a few days later. Then feed the heck out of everything (especially the girls) until march 15th (ish) when I start putting the pairs together. Thayeri seem to breed well early, this year I was about 3 weeks behind schedule and several still bred. My snake room averages 55 to 63 degrees but has gotten down to 49 and as high as 74 during the brumation; their is usualy one rack plugged in with babies that keeps the whole room from getting too cold at night. I live in Southern CA so you should modify your timing etc. for your area and temps. I bred AZ Mountian Kings for a few years with the same temps so don't think they need to be below 50. My Rosy Boas also bred with these temps.
Good Luck next year, the fun is when they hatch out.
