Brumation Questions

[nyx]

I brumate in plastic shoeboxes, depending on animal size. An animal in torpor is disinclined to start pushing at lids to get out, but you could weigh it down with a book if you were worried.

30°F is too cold. I don't let brumating North American reptiles go below 50°F, preferably not below 55. Buy a wine fridge with a precision thermostat and brumate them that way.
