Hello everyone,
With the weather going up and down here in the SFV, CA, I have decided to brumate my RT (its wild caught and around 5 years old) using the fridge method. The only question I have is: is now the right time? And I know I have seen someone here say that for first timers, 8-10 weeks...
Hello Everyone,

Hello! Thank you! Before I created an account i saw that @Carol S was getting a lot of positive reviews but I don’t know how to get in touch with her and it seems as though a lot of people have tried to. Is there many way I can check if certain websites are trustworthy?
