Make sure that you wait at least 10 days since the snake's last meal before you start to cool him down.

:The term is actually brumate. The idea is to cool the snake down for usually about 3 months. The cage that the snake lives in normally is fine for brumation. You just need to move the cage to a cool (but not extremely cold) area, like a corner of your garage that stays cool in the winter. Gradually lower the temperature over a 7 to 10 day period to about 60 to 65 degrees F. for a bull snake and maintain it there. Keep water in the cage for the snake, but don't offer food. After the brumation period is over, gradually raise the temp over about a week to normal temperature and start offering food again.

::Exactly how do oyu hibernate snakes. Lets say if you have a 4 foot bull snake, so what size of container should you use for it to bermate in? What temp is good, and what to bermate it in?
