I started cooling two weeks ago and cool for 6 weeks for my FL Kings and 8 weeks for my Western Hogs. My temps range from 55-65 day and night. I know BHB cools for 3 or so months, but when taking care of that large of a collection, the brumation period is a break from the work and from food bills... that's part of why he cools that long (so Ive heard). Id say 6 weeks - 3 months would be safe as well as successful. I had very few slugs last year and would rather spend more of the year feeding up my snakes than cooling them... plus it doesn't stay cold long here in Florida lol. Goodluck!!



Anaconda Western Hog x Het Pink Pastel (OT but it's all Ive got right now lol)
