>>Hey John, you don't think temps would drop enough from now thru Febuary to cool some of the more tropical species, like the Floridanas? Obviously some of the more montaine species need that extra cold.

Of course tropical species will brumate from now until March and produce viable sperm and fertile eggs......I just mainly have montanes so I brumate them all the same........this year I actually started cooling them off two weeks earlier and will keep them in for two weeks longer.....

Regardless of what anyone else may say I see no I'll effects from doing it this way.........none at all.......plus, I really enjoy the 4 month break and the time to concentrate on younger snakes.........

I know....it's all about me but it works....lol
