I have a pair of wandering garters that I hope to breed this coming spring, however the question arises, must I hibernate them? The female has not hibernated in 3 years so I am unsure how she would do, that and I can't bear to see my huge terrarium-- empty.. So is there a way to dodge the hibernation? Maybe I'll get lucky and they will just mate without it...
