Something I've found interesting today that I thought I'd share. Despite being kept in tubs, inside and all year around, both my juvenile Lowland Copperheads, who have been brumating since May (self-imposed), have just shed in anticipation of Spring! How do they know?? .

Time to wade the ice-cold waters of Bushland Reserve again and hunt some Gambusia, me thinks!
