    You bring up an interesting question.

    Does brumating or not brumating help or hurt the health and/or life of our snakes?

    Does anyone know of any studies that address this question about brumation?

    It's definitely an interesting question. I suppose one could compare the mortality rate among those that brumated and those that didn't and see if there's a statistically significant difference between the two groups.
