Hognoses and brumation

[Linds]

This will be my first time brumating and (hopefully) breeding Hognoses, but there is very little info out there. I have been unable to find the normal time of year that they are typically put in to brumation at. I normally put my Rosy Boas down in the basement around November, is it a good idea to put the Hognoses down there around the same time too, or? When do you guys put your Hogs away?

[Stockwell]

Yup, just like any other North American colubrid.. I usually put my Rosies and colubrids in at the same time around the end of November and bring them out mid March

Thanks a bunch, Roy! :)

This must be the pair I sold you, looking forward to seeing the results!
Hope you get lots of eggs :)

My hogs went down on Nov 1st. :) Good luck Linds! :)

Are there any problems associated with beginning brumation later?

[Linds]

Ryan,
Yup! They are doing great :)

Vanan,
Thanks! I hope it works out!

Cam - When to brumate is totally up to you. You could even do it during the summer-time if you wanted to refrigerate your animals for the brumation period.

Cheers!
