Thanks for the reply Toby. I just saw it, so I guess we were both late in replies. I actually brumated my situla pair in a similar way, minus the heat tape and feeding. The winter temps. here in SW LA are probably similar to yours in south TX. I simply brumate all my snakes by moving them to a small extra room in my house. I close the air/heat vents and open the single window about half way and close the door. I also close the blinds, but enough light gets in so there is a natural photo period. I haven't bred a lot of snakes yet as most are not quite large enough yet. Besides the situla this method has worked well for corn snakes, everglades rats, speckled kings,and bairdi.
