honestly i dont know much about hibernation in FBTs. so i have been doing a lot of reading on th internet, and ive read alot about hibernation helping the following breeding season. people go to some interesting lengths for a successful breeding season, from putting them in the basement to putting them in moss filled tupperware and putting them in the fridge. with minimal feedings at approx 1 time a week. I DONT KNOW how accurate this informatin being provided is, and certainly dont plan on putting mine in the fridge to find out! im not looking to breed my two either, thats why they were seperated. MAYBE one day, like 2 years from now. we may give it a try.

there is just so much different information out there now adays, its hard to determine what is actually accurate. i guess its a lot of picking and choosing, and seeing what work best for you. given basic necessities are met!

at this point i am really hoping that its a hibernaion season and that the tank changes i tried last week. havent like some how poisioned my FBTs. im sure im being overly paranoid, but i think the ones who lol freak out about every little thing..... are still doing alright!
