Hey all,
A quick question to those that have bred P. ruthveni. How long and at what temp do you hibernate your animals for?
I have good experience with hibernating northerns, but nothing else...and since I don't keep my northerns and ruthveni even in the same household I would like to know what others have done so I can get some direction.
Now, that said, based on my research I have a tentative plan of having them "go down" for December through March at a temp range of upper 40s to low 50s. This is one month shorter and about 10 degrees warmer than what I do for my northerns.

Any thoughts to share are appreciated greatly!

Thanks in advance,
--Brian
