Garter snakes are some of the best pet snakes, and melanistic garter snakes are among the most beautiful pet snakes. Brumation is a crucial part of life for garter snakes living in many parts of their range in the wild. It is also a valuable process in captivity, as it simulates more natural conditions and helps prime and cycle the snakes for improved breeding success. In this video I show you my brumation setup, which is based on information from stevenbolgartersnakes.com/publications-2/hibernating-garter-snakes

I have been using this method for brumation for my pet and breeder garter snakes for several years with great success.
