do u have to do that to make them mate? cause it looks like mines mating right now

Lots of garters mate some less breed without hibernation, but if you are planing to breed it´s better to burmate the snakes.
If you just want to let it happen or not you don´t need to burmate them at all.

I am planning to weigh them too this year. If I do, I will place the info here.

@ Brandon0133 - Hibernation (brumation) is a normal part of the year-cycle for many reptiles and amphibians. That is a good reason to do this for your Thamnophis.

I will be brumating most of my snakes this year, even the babies. I stopped feeding the T. marcianus a couple of weeks ago, but this morning I found them 'connected' in a special way!

So I might not brumate these two now!
