My garter hasn't eaten in more than four weeks, so I decided to brumate him in an old mini-fridge, set to about 55 degrees (pic related). Right now, he's soaking in his water dish, almost completely submerged. Is this normal? I'm worried about him getting excessively chilled.He's a wild caught (regretting that now) from around the Rochester, NY area, so warmer than where I am now (Baltimore). Maybe he's just trying to go for colder temperatures?Ideas?
#nosoupsup?
>>175662OP here - meant to say that it's warmer here in Baltimore than it would be in his native habitat. So should I turn up the cold?
how do you cook them after they've marinated in the fridge for a few months?
This is completely normals..i breed ball pythons corn snakes and the rare kingsnake..I stop feeding mine November 1st. They will start eating again about febuary 20th. Do not panic. Ive seen snakes for for 8 months with no food..(He refused to eat)
Why do you have a water dish in with him? Shouldn't he just be burrowed into some mulch?
dude, all I can imagine is a guest coming over, opening your fridge door and screaming.Seriously, a snake in your main fridge? Don't you have somewhere else you could chill him?
>>177469Did you miss the part where OP said it was an old mini fridge?...although keeping him in his main fridge would probably be a good conversation starter.
>>177480I'm sorry, its just that all the old minifridges I know of are curently in kids dorms being used as beer storage.ugh.
