WHAT???
We are still buried under 2 feet of snow and ice. More expected on Saturday...

I am really beginning to hate driving with some (most) of the people these days...

We are looking for 53 degrees next Wed. Maybe I'll get some T.radix den cam action.
It would be nice to see them peeking out.

He's my young man chillin' in the fridge with a couple of his lady friends.
Hoping in about about a month he'll be seeing some action.

Snakes need water during brumation, at least that's what I have always thought. Might seem like a stupid question but how do manage that when they're crammed in there with a towel like this?

Just seems like a weird setup for brumating a snake. Of course, I haven't seen too many details on how other people brumate snakes, I just know how I do it. I just basically use a smaller enclosure, plastic tub, whatever, but there's always substrate or paper towel, hide, and a water dish.

Although this is a subject for a husbandary thread:

Snakes dón´t have open water in most natural brumation sites,
but high humidity of the air.
The brumation set up with a water dish is a king insurance, to have higher humidity in the fridge and to equalise temperatures.
I know about amphibian keepers, who fill all remaining space in their brumation fridge with waterbottles to slow down warming and cooling cycles.

Nothing too strange about this setup. A towel to allow burrowing for that secure feeling and a water dish(short ziplock screw top container) for hydration.
Water change every two weeks. Weight checks then also. It's all done inside the fridge as quickly as possible to reduce any warm-ups.

Someday I hope to score a cheap walk in fridge to put to use.
That would be sweet.
