Looking good. During brumation do you not bother them at all?(No cleaning, water...etc)

Yes, I do "bother" them. Every 2-3 days I use a laser temp gun to monitor their individual rack temps. Also I change the water at least once a week if not more. Towards the end of November thru December they are not fed, to empty out their GI track. So there is not really any excrement to clean during this period. I put a blanket over the rack to almost eliminate light during this time as well. After talking with a couple other breeders I might try to just limit their light next season versus cooling them. This will depend on my fertility rates.Keep ya posted..Take care man!!
