Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
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.

What do you use to keep temps low (52 to 56F) for hibernation?
AC units that I have seen do not go below 62F. What do you breeder use to keep the temps around 55F? I know it depends on the type of snake but just looking for general feedback on the tricks of the trade.

Yeah, I've heard of using Wine coolers. I think fridge is probably the way to go. I just need to find one that keeps it around 55 and 48F.

Holy cow, that thing is pretty cool!
*This might be a dumb question* When you keep herps in a fridge or something do you have to open it up daily to exchange the air or do they circulate in outside air?

Me too. Actually I have to be careful that my basement isn't too cold. We have a room we call the freezer because there is a chest freezer in it. However, in the winter time it could be called that for the temperature, which can get down to below 40 degrees.
If I keep the door to the guest bedroom closed that room stays about 45-50 degrees all winter.

I was told by Sara (clarinet45) that opening it occasionally to exchange the air is a good idea, especially when incubating eggs. This also helps to balance humidity levels as well. But I think that some fridges circulate in fresh air, otherwise you would think the air would become stagnant.
