RE: brumating in pairs?

I've brumated pairs and groups in the past. Nothing negative to report about it.

As far as a female ovulating during brumation, I don't see how that could even happen. When the temps are right their metabolism slows down, no digestion, no weight loss, etc. So I don't see how a female could ovulate. Ovulation is associated with longer days / more hours of daylight, higher temps, first or second shed of the new spring. I have seen snakes shed during brumation but even that process took longer.

If it did happen I would say that brumation temps and conditions were wrong.

Just my 2 cents.
