4 snakes packed off to the kitchen cupboard for brumation .... how dull

Still .... it'll make me apprechiate them more in January

Process followed - Nill by mouth for two weeks
4 days gradual temp decrease
Into Kitchen cupboard and currently at 15C (this should gradually reduce to about 8C minimum if the last figures are anything to go by).

Yeah, I thought half of my snakes had gone off-feed, but it seems that most of them had just skipped a meal for whatever reason. The one snake that's not eating, is looking suspiciously fat, too.

I hope not. She hasn't been with a male since she gave birth a year and a half ago.

that might not stop her from trying.

Another interesting observation of mine when weighing (again showing Fawn's crazy growth rate)

Suzy (2 year old radix) - 199g
Fawn (1 year old parietalis) - 176g

They are almost exactly the same length too.

Temps down to 12C today . Currently observed water-bowl soaking preference in T.radix.

[gregmonsta]

Temps 13C today. Suzy tried to come and say hello so I had to discourage her. Fawn's favourite spot is squished in between the waterbowls and the edge of the tub. When I lifted the waterbowl the little mare tried to claim the space as her own .

Last night we had our first snow of the season. It was a heavy, wet snow. We got about 2 inches. Most of it's gone already.
The wild radix season is officially over. I hate this time of the year.

Yesterday was very warm hear too about 60°F and we´ll have no snow for at least another week or two, than maybe at the end of the month or beginnig of Dezember it might snow but all the wight will be gone untill Chrismas again.
