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!
