Brumation... She wants it.

How's Fatty doing Kyle? Did you move her to the fridge? I'm pulling extra heat from the babies today and will gradually move them to colder and colder spots for a week or so and then into the 41-44 degree fridge... scares me, but it's the warmest I can get it and the care sheets say 40 will be fine... sigh... I do love these babies...

One more quick question... what type of container should I use? Something dark I take it... what size do they need? Both the adults and the babies... I'm thinking one container per pair of snakes? Thanks!

Fatty and her two sisters are still down here. (Basement.) On Thursday I'll be putting them in the fridge for the month. Let's hope all goes well!

I don't have them in a dark container; I just have a thick sheet over it. (But thin enough that there's good air flow.)

That would work... do you have all three girls together? What sized container did you go with? Obviously I'm fighting space issues with the refrigerator, but don't want to short change them either, giving them plenty of room away from the top, etc, in case there's condensation.
