Losses in Brumation.

Wrong humidity. I think that they should be kept a little moister, at least northern species, than we originally thought.

Can you explain how you came to that conclusion, Kyle?

I kept the substrate in the chamber I had my females in nearly bone dry. They had a large dish of water to soak in that I made sure was full. Apparently, even with a full dish of water, the humidity wasn't high enough. I think there may have been something to do with how they breathe at lower temperatures and moisture levels... Something along those lines... Some of the brumation resource websites I've checked say that dens are generally near rivers, lakes, etc. The den I found last year was on a river.
