N. Pine Brumation?

regnadkcin Jan 22, 2008 08:48 AM

How long should I brumate my N. Pines for. They have been down since 11/1/-7. I have a pair of Ginter line NJ pine barrens local that are in there 4th year. The guy I bought them from m did not brumate them or try to breed them last year. I have high hopes for success with them this year.

I've always had mine down for three months and seem to do fine. Best of luck!

I usually cool mine for 60 to 70 days at 50F to 55F. They have produced every year for 12 years.

Thank for all the replys. I had planned on going 90 days and wanted to see what others who were having success were doing. After hatching out some tiny annulata last year, I'm looking foward to something bigger.
