They do NOT hibernate! They like temps in the 70's, and when they are of a decent size can take temps into the 50's without a problem. They need moisture all the time, so a substrate that holds moisture like cypress bark is a must. They do well on a diet of greens, and like some fruits and other veggiez as snacks.

Hres a care sheet from the best, Vic Morgan, he's been breeding this species for over 10 years and really knows his stuff. I got both of my hatchlings from him, and have done very well with his care tips! http://www.cascabelfarm.com/ghs/bmtort.html

If you need anything else just send me an e-mail!
