Re: Sick snake, brumation, or...?
Hi Scott,
Though 56 will work, just realize that you're on the upper end of the normal brumation temperature range. The main thing is to give them a stable temperature... no sudden changes.
As long as "Garty" is in good health now, it shouldn't lose more than 0.1 oz during brumation, and all you should need to do is clean the water dish and change the water every three weeks or so. If you notice the snake losing weight or becoming overly skinny, then take it out of brumation. This process happens all the time in nature all by itself, so try not to be too active around the snake while it's down. Hope this helps,
Rick
