Question about brumation

TrpnBils

22 is not enough snakes
So i was reading another brumation thread on here and it brought up something I've always wondered. When brumating, say, a corn snake, temps should be quite low, as Dean pointed out in another thread (Low 60's or upper 50's I believe). What keeps the snake from developing an RI with prolonged exposure to these temperatures? Is an RI any more likely to happen while brumating a snake that has had an RI in the past?
 
Yes, I remember that thread but no options were disclosed. My thoughts was that in the process of brumation, the keepers usually made sure that the snakes were "clean out" so maybe cool temps and unclean cage were the cause. But that just my thinking on that. :shrugs:
