I have some baby eastern milk snakes and I want to know about keeping them through the winter. Should I cool them down so they hibernate? I have not experience with this so I wonder if someone could tell me how this works and what I should do. I have a cool basement and the concrete floor might get to 55-60 degrees in the winter but I am not sure yet. What temperature should I keep them at and for how long? How do I keep them cool? Do I feed them or give them water during this time? Anything special about light or bedding? Is this necessary to do or can I keep them in the house and perhaps just slow down feeding them?

I really appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks
