Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

anyone have experience using a wine cooler for brmation.
I'm thinking about getting a wine cooler to brumate my milks and mtn. kings. Is anyone else here using this system? any info would be appreciated. are they airtight or can i just open the door a bit each day to circulate air? do i need to humidify the interior or leave it dry? Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

I'm using a wine cooler this year. Mine is very large and was pretty expensive (built to hold 550 wine bottles). It has a digital thermostat built in but I'm using a seperate digital thermometer/hygrometer as a backup.
So far it seems to be holding very consistant temps and the humidity is around 65%.
I've heard of people using aquarium pumps and tubing to pump fresh air into the cooler but I just open the doors every day or two to let in fresh air.
This is my first year using this so I can't really fully recommend it yet but it's going well so far.
Good luck,
Chris

I started using a small wine refrigerator for brumating my milks last year. It's an Avanti (model WC400YBG). It worked out great. I did open it once or twice a day to fan some fresh air in, but there were a few times I missed a day or two, but had no problems. The temp stayed nice and steady (though there is about a 3-5 degree difference between the top and bottom shelves), and it held really good humidity, too. Plus it's virtually silent.
One thing to be aware of is condensation on the inside of your plastic tubs (if that's what you're using to hold the snakes). It can soak the bedding, so you might need to change it after awhile if it gets too damp.
