I have a w/c Va. corn that started out eating really good for me then stopped altogether.She has been cooling down now for a little over 3 weeks.I'm cooling her to stimulate her to eat again since she's a little thin.(she appears to have layed eggs).Should this be long enough?? Thanks!, Jeff

Its probably just about long enough. Give it a shot. You can always cool her again if it doesn't work out. Nature pulls those kinds of tricks constantly.

Im in VA to...where abouts are u?

I'm in Victoria(Lunenburg Cty.) Jeff

Jeff, I'd go about 6 weeks myself. The extra time shouldn't hurt her any. As long as she is kept down in the mid - low 50's then she shouldn't loose any weight during a short 6 week brumation.

I've always put mine in the freezer for a couple of hours. teach the snake a valuable lesson. starve a cold and freeze a recalcitrant feeder, that's what i always say. or something like that.

I'd like to disavow the previous statement. Those responsible for it have been sacked. it was silly.
