What type of snake? How big? You say you're renting the house. The whole house? Do you have access to a cool spot in the basement? The attic? Any cool spots say near a window? Someplace the would hold temps around /- 55*F? Will she fit in a plastic shoebox? A sweatertub?

For expample in my house my basement stays pretty cool for brumating. I put my smaller colubrids in sterile/rubbermaid shoeboxes with a small water bowl and a hide and keep them on aspen bedding deep enough for them to burrow in. After being sure they've had time in the warmth to finish digesting their last meal I tuck them in a cool corner of the basement and check on them weekly, check for temps around 50-55*.

My larger colubrids go into 15-30 qt. plastic tubs with a similar setup.

I'm sure other besides myself would love to help. Having more information about your situation helps us help you. So if you could provide more details about your situation we can better guide you through winter.
