Brumination

Hey hey, its been a while.
Update-
Quicksilver and Indiana are doing fine, eating well and shedding.
Sparky celebrated his 1st birthday on 18th of november, had the little guy a year now, he is not so little anymore, but still has a long way to go untill he is the size of Angel.
JD is doing really well, being a typical male and spends most of his time sleeping in his log.
Angel has put the weight she lost when she had her babies and is now ready for Brumination.

Brumination is a Herp word for hibernation.

So i have started to turn the lights off until the middle of december when i switch the heat off to.
This helps make the snakes feel that its winter and will hibernate.
This process make them more fertile for next years breeding season. 
After a few months i will turn the heat and lights on.
feed them up and start breeding again.
