Will someone please give me some tips on brumating BRB's? I need to know bottom temperature, length of brumation, and humidity requirements during this time.
Thank you,
Cricket

Cricket,
. I do not think anyone knows what is the best temperature to cool them to and for how long to get best results breeding them. If you read all the posts on this forum you will find a few reports of successful breeding without any cooling. I had good results for many years cooling to around 69 degrees for 5 to 6 weeks. I had poorer results the last few years dropping overall cage temperatures to the area of 69 but with a warm spot on the cage floor. This year I am cooling them to the high 60s with no warm spot on the cage floor. There are many questions that we do not have answers for. For example: what if one sex needed cooling and the other sex did not require any cooling. Noone has done controlled experiments to answer questions like this.
