    done brumation

    well today i checked in on the girls in the fridge and decided 2 months is long enough of a brumation (i missed them too much) so i took them out and put them back in their old tank and let them warm up after about 15 mins they were back to their old selves again

    Glad all went well Kevin!

    Those two months seemed to go by quickly! But then again, they weren't my snakes I've decided not to put my guys in the fridge this year. I just got too paranoid with all the losses. What was the temp in your crisper again?

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    I know the feeling , Kevin....brought mine out of burmation as well. The reptile room was a little too vacant to suit me.

    Kev,
    Have you put a male in yet with your females that you just took out of brumation to see if your female is receptive to them for mating?
    Just curious...
    Regards,
    Jack

    Re: done brumation

    LOL this is so weird, because I just told my mom that I did not think I could handle not having them down any longer.... so when I finish redoing the snakeroom (possibly by this weekend) I am going to bring them up. I might HAVE to anyways because our hot water heater is starting to go kaput, and it's leaking water onto the floor. a quarter of the basement floor has water on it.... it's concrete and there's dranage but if it gets any worse I'm not going to be able to access them without nearly drowning
