It's official. Today I boxed Gomez and Morticia for the winter. Both stopped eating a couple weeks ago, and stopped coming out of their hides a few days ago. They each got a final 90-minute warm soak today, a chance to cool in their hides and then I boxed them as temps started to drop this afternoon.
They're each in double boxes in a propped open, non-working chest freezer in our shed. It averages 45-50 degrees through the winter. I expect to take them out in late Feb/early March.
I hate to say goodbye for the winter but they were clearly ready. Have a good siesta, guys!
