Hello,
I've picked-up quite a few adult milks, kings and corns over the summer and want to brumate them to induce a stronger breeding repsonse in spring. How do you all go about dropping the temps? Assuming every snakes has digested their last meal(s) and they're currently being kept at a temp gradient of 78-86 degrees, do I drop them to 55 all at once or gradually lower the temps? I'd hate to lose any of the snakes or have them become sick so I'm open to your experiences and advise.
Thanks,
Charlton
