I have heard nothing except things that have scared me away from brumating lil' Carl. However, I am starting to wonder if some of my current issues could be solved by brumating him over the coldest portion of winter.
My biggest problem is the humidity. In Nebraska, it's ridiculously humid in the summer and very VERY dry in the winter. Well when I first got my little guy over the summer, it was very easy to keep the humidity up to a normal level, just misting twice a day did the trick.
Well in the winter, I have had a terrible time getting any humidity at all. I will mist every hour or so when I'm home, pour water into the substrate at least twice a week, and have added a whole bunch of sphagnum moss that I try to keep wet at all times. No luck, within an hour after the misting, the humidity is always down to very low levels (usually the humidity gauge says 0%).
Carl is definitely being affected by the humidity, he's sleeping a lot more underneath the moss, and I am definitely noticing the starts of pyramiding.
Would brumating him over this time period help keep him healthy during the Nebraska "dry season"?
