When I lower the temps for brumation they seem to hunker down together, but alot of the mexicana and montane kings will move about even in 40F temperature......Makes me wonder if I should warm them up and feed them or provide an isolated hot spot like others do to getula during "brumation."
I don't think giving montanes a hot spot during brumation would be helpful. They need to be cool for an extended unbroken length of time. Mine are brumated at 45 to 50 F from November to February. During that time they do move around and drink water, but have no interest in feeding. In winter in the wild the prey would not be very much out and about, so it would serve no purpose for the snakes to have appetites they could not satisfy.
