Brumation conditions: Dry, humid or wet?

[ConcinusMan]

I made this mistake a few years back. I brumated mine in dry conditions and almost lost a few snakes.

Now why do you suppose you "almost" lost them, if that is indeed the case. What's your theory on how dry substrate "almost" killed your snakes?

. They were badly dehydrated. I brumated them in the same way I did my rat snakes ect. Im not going to pretend I know why but for me it was simple. The thams and natrix that were kept moist I have never had a single problem. When I did dry I had many sick snakes. If it works for you fine, but not for me.
