What were the conditions the snakes were in.like where they were brumating.How long have they been brumating.Any little detail should help.my snakes are in the basement.I have mine in rubbermaid bins.Temps are 50-55.Thye are on papertowels with a waterbowl large enough for them to soak in and a hide.I cover them with a blanket so no light gets in.I only brumate for eight weeks no more.I never check on them.Even when they spill their water bowl.I have never seen any ill effects.Now if I can just keep them alive when they are out of brumation.This is the first year I brumated snakes together.I have my males in one bin and females in another.
