This is my first time cooling my hondos and was wondering how some of you guys do it. What temp range do I want and anything else that might help out a first timer.
Thanks,
Matt

Matt-
It really isn't difficult at all, though I know the process must be intimidating the first time around.
For hondos, the low 60s are adequate brumating temps-though they can easily handle much cooler-down to the low-mid 50s. Just make sure to stop feeding well before you drop the temps (at least 7-10 days), and make sure they have access to water during brumation. You'll do fine.

Give them at least 8 weeks, then warm them up.
