I have two of my snakes brumating right now.

I am trying a mini experiment. I have two pairs I am planning to breed. I have one pair (creams) in a mini fridge brumating and the other pair (ghost/snow) going about their normal business.

I will see what happens in the spring. See if one pair does any better then the other. Which pair produces the most eggs, or the most viable eggs and maybe the stronger or larger hatchlings. Something like that.

It makes me nervous having the two brumating and if the non-brumating pair does as well as the brumating pair, I might not worry through brumation again.

The two creams have been in a mini refrigerator, with temps that range from 46 to 50 degrees, since the week before Thanksgiving.

From my research it would seem that those are pretty much the proper temps for brumation so after a couple of weeks of testing temperature settings I found the right settings to hold a pretty stable range.

I hope that all goes well and they make it through to the first of February.

After I bring them out of brumation, get them feeding and the female has had her first shed, I will put them together. At the same time I will put the other pair together and will see what happens.

Sorry to ramble
