Hello!!

[GarterGeek]

Thanks for the encouragement and warm welcome everybody: Hopefully, she'll turn up soon. I've scattered flour everywhere and placed a couple food&water stations to lure her out.

By the way, this would be her fourth month in brumation. Would she come out of brumation based on time-period or temperature?
I'm worried because the temperatures in my basement don't vary much throughout the seasons...

can you give her a warm spot?
she might end up hanging out there

you can take a empty two litter bottle, put some fish in on the back, then put the the front end on the heat pad, check it daily and replenish fish. Hopefully the scent will draw the snake in and then after gorging it will stay for the heat, and will be an easy catch when you walk up on it to check it.
