"Is 55 to 65 good brumation temps? What is the lowest and the highest you would go for brumation?"
For some higher elevation forms such as zonata, a temp of around 45-50 degrees seems to work pretty well for many of them, while some other types of snakes could certainly do just fine with it being toward 60 degrees. It really all depends on the specific type of snake and what their natural environment might be where they naturally range.
The actual length of brumation and temps for any given type or bloodline can vary of course, and it can greatly depend on the weather conditions where they are being kept in the country too. What works well for someone in Washington state or Montana might be very different from someone keeping them in South Carolina or Florida. It can sometimes take some experimentation and tweeking to find the best results.
