The first two years I bred corns, back in 2004 and 2005, I did not brumate. They ate steadily all winter, and the female produced large clutches fertile eggs both years. I think the change in seasons, with decreasing and then increasing daylight hours, can trigger formation of ova and sperm.

Hear are a couple of pics from the 2004 breeding.
