Hi Gang, i'm new to the forums and would appreciate any assistance I could get with this issue. The issue is, I need to make a decision on when to take my BROOKSI KINGS out of brumation for breeding.
Heres the thing, I have 1.2 (proven) that I purchased in November and because they were a little underweight, I power fed them during December and much of January. In turn, I didnt put them down for brumation until late Jan/early Feb. They're still in a cold enviroment but I have noticed they are moving around a bit now, so I'm wondering if I should start to warm them up now, or wait a bit longer?
Here are the specifics of when I put each one down:
Male - Jan 28
Female #1 - Feb 4
Female #2 - Feb 15
I know with some more northern species a full 3 monthes is recommended, but knowing that these are from south florida I thought maybe 2 monthes may be sufficient?
Again any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Tom Cryan
