Burmation Temperatures

Just out of curiousity, what extremes of temperatures can Western Hognose snakes tolerate while burmating?

I have had my animals down as low as 35-37'F without any bad effects. I would say 60-45 is safe as long as the humdity doesn't get very high they should be ok.
My target brumation is 50-55'F with a few short drops into the 40's. Works pretty well for me. Hope this helped.
