Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello. Seince this message board doesn't "bump" a topic to the top when you reply to it... I'm afraid this reply to you has gotton lost. (of course I could be wrong and maybe you haven't had time to respond or maybe you don't wanna... ) anyway this was questions about the way you hibernate your snakes.

Hibernate in the fall?

when do you start? stop?

HOW? (I am in a 1 bedroom apt and am trying to figure out a better way to hibernate snakes)

what temp? (I have heard 50 is fine for florda snakes)

Sorry for the 20 q. but I'm trying to do better with my snakes.

hibernate every fall temps drop to the 50's in my basement.

I wake them up after 60 days

Hmmmm theres a thought ... I wonder if I could talk my parents into hibernating my snakes in their basement...

Ok WHEN in the fall? fall is from sept 23rd to dec 21st.

When do you start? sept? oct? nov?

What kind of lighting and heating (temp)do they get after they wake up? it would still be winter so do you put extra hours? (mine generaly were by a window and I used under the cage heating for heat... so the light they got corisponded with day light.. but now I'm getting better cageing and they will ahve a light in the cage... )

Sorry I know I'm being a pill... like I said I'm trying to do the best with my snakes and correcting errors I have discovered.
