do u have to do that to make them mate? cause it looks like mines mating right now

[zooplan]

Lots of garters mate some less breed without hibernation, but if you are planing to breed it´s better to burmate the snakes.
If you just want to let it happen or not you don´t need to burmate them at all.

I am planning to weigh them too this year. If I do, I will place the info here.

@ Brandon0133 - Hibernation (brumation) is a normal part of the year-cycle for many reptiles and amphibians. That is a good reason to do this for your Thamnophis.

I will be brumating most of my snakes this year, even the babies. I stopped feeding the T. marcianus a couple of weeks ago, but this morning I found them 'connected' in a special way! So I might not brumate these two now!
