brumation and hydration in the triv nation

pollito Dec 17, 2005 01:58 AM

Hola

I've had my 4 girls cooled down for a couple of weeks plus now. I gave them access to water before the cooling. They are in a dark room and I want to disturb them as little as possible and get them primed for spring. My question is: Will I hinder their readiness to breed a few months from now if I switch the lights on, check their ventilation, health and give them water for a day?

Thanks ahead of time

I check my snakes every 3-4 days while they are brumating. It doesn't bother them a bit. You will be amazed at how active they are sometimes.
