    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How long on average do you usually brumate?
I put them in brumation dec 1st.
Wine refrigerator temperature is set at 64 degrees, the ambient temperature in my room is 80 degrees.

I don't currently work with hognose, but I work with other species that require brumation, and I wake them up in March.
 
hognose has always been friendly, eager to come out and never hissed. About a month ago I went to take him out and he hissed at me! I was shocked and left him there. I tried again and was more persistent to which he headbutted me! Then he has gone into hiding. He no longer sleeps in his hide and moves about, he has burrowed not only under the sawdust but under the new paper at the bottom and is curled up and just stays there. He won't come out for food and if I pull back the paper he hisses,puffs and is very angry. Does anyone have any advice please? Should I leave him or force him out?
