I think everyone does it differently. I stop feeding on november 1st. I wait until the snakes have digested and deficated (usually by the 14th), then brumate. I brumate at outdoor temps, but make sure the temps do not drop below High 40's. At 50 degrees I cover the cages with blankets. I then start warming the snakes february 1st and are fully warm on Valentines day (14th). Then as soon as the female sheds, she meets her mate!
Hope this helps. I am sure others do things differently.
