Default Brumation......already lol

After moving house i am trying to find somewhere to brumate my adults at the end of the year. What are the max-min temps for brumation? How low can the temperature drop before it can cause problems? Are they better being kept in darkness for this period or to still have normal day night lighting?

Long way off yet i know, but searching through my new place i want to make sure i can find a place they can be brumated where the temps will be right.....ohh its all fun eh?

Where do you brumate yours?

Any hints would be appreciated

Thanks!

Mand

So if i put them in my "boxroom" leaving the window open and the heating off, it should do the trick?

its hard to say, there is apossibilty it might get too cold, unless you have a heater on some kinda stat to keep it at whatever you decide.
