OK, I followed everyones advice and brumated my 09 wild caught baby black rat. He seems to be doing fine.



My only question at this point is - he seems to be out more than older snakes that I have brumated. I have him at a constant temp range of 52 of a low, and as high as 58 or so as a high, but generally it is right at about 55. I feel that this temp is adequate, some I know brumate snakes at 58-64. This little guy seems to be out almost daily though, is this normal, or do I need to lower temp?? The cage is pretty much dark also. Thank you for your help.
