Hey all,

So I have just finish putting my snakes down for the year. Some were put down in mid-Oct, the rest today (6 Dec). Here is what I put down and the temps they will be exposed to:

Russian sand boas, Eryx miliaris
52-56F for 4 months

Smooth-scaled sand boas, Eryx johnii
52-56F for 3 months

Rubber boas, Charina bottae
52-56F for 1.5 months, then 38-42F for 3 months.

I also have one javelin sand boa, Eryx jaculus, that I put down because it has never taken a meal. He is being kept at 52-56F, and has been at the temp for 1.5 months and is still alive. Anyone else ever cool down Javelins?

For those of you that cool off you animals, what temps do you use and for how long?

Cheers,

-Chris
