breeding skipping brumation

murdoch Dec 19, 2007 09:25 PM

do any commercial or regular hognose breeders skip brumation regularly in their adult western hoggie females to keep their weight up?

i only ask as per my last post my newish female just laid eggs and is hungry to no end. i fed her twice so far but if i cool her that might be it for the season.

experienced comments welcome

I have no problems skipping brumation with my girls. Of course, they have their seasons mixed up and it does not really get cold enough here.

Justin Mitcham I think has also skipped brumation and not had any problems.
