hibernation

[brigitte]

hey guys, could someone tell me how to hibernate my garters this winter and during what months do I do this? What do you guys do?
I live in Missouri right smack dab in the mid west. thanks

Unless you are breeding them, it's not necessary.

We keep ours year round, and have had no ill effects.

The upside is having garters in the winter...:D:D

There may be mixed feelings on that, but ours have been fine.

Here is a link to the steps for burmating, should help you out.

I don't brumate mine either. They do just fine.:)
