What dates do you guys start and end your brumation? I put mine in on November 1st, and they are brumating at 45-53 degrees Fahrenheit (7-12 degrees celsius). I am brumating:


  • 1 Male Eastern
  • 1 Male Red-sided
  • 2 Female Red-sideds
  • 2 Oregon Red-spots (pair)
  • 2 Female Western Ribbons


How long should these guys be brumating for? My current plan is to start warming them up on MLK Day (January 21st) at a degree a day until they are at 64 degrees (it is set to 50 degrees right now) (highest the hibernaculum will go), and then put them in their warm cages. Does this sound good?
