Help in Brumating a Blackneck?

[chris-uk]

The quote I posted was from an email from Sjoerd (CrazyReptiles) who has been breeding T. cyrtopsis cyrtopsis for several years. I don't think this pattern is typical of all garter species, my blacknecks are the only ones that follow it.

The snap brumation stuff was in a thread that Fons posted about one of his tetrataenia. I'm on my way out else I'd have a quick search for it.

I don't think that's necessarily a pattern for this one though... Apparently he was eating fine before being shipped, but he spent a very cold night in a shipping warehouse on the way to my dad's. I wonder if that somehow threw his schedule off?

I'll see if I can find that then. I didn't remember who posted it or anything :P

I wouldn't think you should do it for two months necessarily. Does anyone have the link someone had up a couple months ago to a thread about 'snap brumating' non-eating baby San Frans?
I was thinking they only had theirs cooled down for about two or three weeks...

It describes one of my wandering garters perfectly.
