hi guys, needing a bit of help here. cecil has refused his last two feeds (each @ 6 days apart), which I know is not a problem itself, but with the temperature dropping quite severely by us could he be going into brumation? If so when should I look at dropping the temps in his viv?

| To be honest mate at that age and size i personaly wouldnt brumate. I would keep the temps up 28c-30c warm end and 24c low end. Light is a big thing though as this is what will put a snake into brumation before low heating. So if poss try to keep 12 hours of light. |

| like paul.c said daylight is a major factor in inducing brumation, i've got a lamp on a timer in the room as my new stack doesn't have lighting yet. |

| have got his red light in the viv, but that for my viewing pleasure, will have to get a small lamp and put it near them like you say to simulate brighter and longer daylight. |

Reptile version of hibination.
Mamals before they hibinate feed them selves up, to enable them to produce heat.
Reptiles before they brumate have to fast for a few week so that the food dont rot in side them. |
