"Kingsnakes" is broad. There are mountain kings and cal kings where I live and they have different metabolisms.



Where I live (5,000 ft) cal kings (that's what I have) disappear from November to March. Now in the low desert you can probably find cal kings year round. Good luck with that where I live.



So I brumate my cal kings for 4 to 4 1/2 months.....because it is natural and it's what they do.



I brumate all my snakes, breeders and babies. Never had a problem and it doesn't affect them at all.
