how you brumate yours. I have been cooling mine down like any other N. American colubrid, a hard brumation as you say, and they have done fine so far. I did this with Honduran Milks too back when I used to breed them. Even though they would not experience these temps in the wild they semed to tolerate them fine. I looked at the temps of the areas where lineaticollis comes from and figured they could take the temps of my main snake room in winter, I never really thought of cooling them any other way until you mentioned how you do yours. Honduran Milks are much much more tropical than lineaticollis and I remember one cold spell we had here in NC that sent my snake room temps down in the 40s but they survived with no problems. I wonder what other lineaticollis breeders are doing brumation wise.
