Re: Question

There are some species you can put in the fridge and hibernate at 4-6°C, but I don't think you can do this for all species/subspecies. Even within subspecies there might be a problem. Some have such a wide range that they can be in very cold or warm areas. I think the one snake from a warm area will have it difficult when you drop the temperature to the hibernation temperature of the snake from the cold area. But this is also just a thought, don't know any hard facts on it.

You can lower the temperature by using a dimmer/ using lower Wattage spots/ lowering your room temperature / gradually decreasing your light period/ moving them to a different room which is a little colder...
