OK, I am going to take you guys' advice and brumate the little guy. But, I truthfully have never had to brumate a snake this young. So, I have a few more questions for those that have brumated babies before.



1.He last ate about 3 1/2 - 4 weeks ago, is it safe to brumate him now, or is that to long or short ago from last feeding?



2.For a snake this size, do the same temps for nomal brumation apply? Where I am planning on putting him it is a constant 55-60 degrees. Is this suffice?



3. What is best to put in the container/aquarium?



Thank you all for the help!!!
