Re: Question
so what do you do to lower the temp? just start cutting the heat source off more and more, and how long of a period should you do this over? what kind of a hide or box should you have for them? will they go in on there own or do you have to put them in? this will be my first time doing it so I want to get it right!!!!........thanks

Re: Question
i have been told that its better if i don't because they are not on a full meal and will be far too weak and could lead to death

Re: Question
That is true....I've been reading up on it now, and they say you shouldn't do it unless they are either really strong already or atleast a year old....

Re: Question
I've often wondered about brumation periods for Garters from different regions and climates, and whether we can apply one set of rules for all species/sub-species. Extreme examples being radix and parietalis from the cold north, compared with marcianus for example from the much warmer southern states. Any thoughts?
