    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....

thanks
 
Hibernation (more correctly termed brumation in snakes) is not required unless you are planning on breeding the snake in the spring. I personally never brumate hatchlings.
To answer your question though, I brumate at 55°F for 8-12 weeks. Feeding must be stopped at least two weeks prior to lowering the temperature to ensure the gut is emptied of food.

As I said though, there's no need to worry about brumating your hatchling, the snake will happily remain at normal temperatures and continue feeding throughout the winter.
 
thx..
was just a bit worried there..
