Hi, Vince is now 3 1/2 years old now, he has never hiberated, should he do so this year or doesn't it matter ? |

if brumation isn't done properly, ie the temperatures are too high or too low then thats when the serious problems can occur |

Thanks Mick, that's fine, we'll leave Vince as he is then , he feeds well and is still active enough. Not looking forward to next spring though, last year he went off his food and was very keen on coming out for a couple of months !!! Looking for the ladies no doupt. |

Snakes in captivity do not usually need to brumate because they have a source of heat and light all year round, however, serious snake breeders adjust their snake's enclosures to encourage brumation for breeding purposes due to the fact that snakes generally start breeding in the spring, when they come out of brumation.
