Hey :)

I know some of you have beauty snakes and I was wondering if you're going to brumate them... or if it is mandatory to do so.

For what I've read it seems quite recommended to brumate beauty snakes, but I am facing some logistic problems being that most of the time we do not have the required temperature for brumation here in Spain. I was thinking on skiping it this year, as I will also be moving out. What do you think?

Thanks in advance :)

I'm not planning to brumate Aleron since I think he's still far too young and doesn't have the fat reserves to skip feeds. Not brumating any of the others either, although Diego seems to be doing it himself anyway :/

That's good to know! Why do you think Diego seems to be doing it himself? because he's in his hides all the time? Mine has become super secretive lately and I attributed it to winter...

But you're right, Furia doesn't have enough fat reserves to go through brumation anyways...

Thank you, very useful as always :)
