Posted by: nearhoofm at Tue Jul 27 17:25:39 2010 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by nearhoofm ] Todd I brumate my hogs in my attic which in the winter runs around 50 degrees. First I stop feeding them and only remove them from the heat after 2-3 weeks from their last meal. I then put them in a cooler area for a week and then finally put them in my attic for 6 weeks, checking their water every week. After that I bring them into a warmer area for a week then put them back on heat tape and offer them a meal a week later. As far as weight personally I never really weight my snakes I go by their age and visual size. I have heard others say between 150-300 grams but truthfully I cant tell you what mine weight. As far as incubation goes I dont use an incubator, I keep mine on vermiculite in a rubber maid container with no holes and open the lid occasionally. The temp usually runs about 84 degrees and I have had eggs hatch out anywhere between 46-62 days with the average around 56 days. I hope this helps you out. I dont claim to be an expert but IMO I have had pretty good success rates with this year at about 98 percent. | ||
