I bred Gonyosoma to F3 from 1990-2000 and would also agree that the breeding was not the challenge - egg husbandry was.
For me, several of my first clutches went full term and never hatched - leaving me disappointed with fully developed babies dead in the eggs.
After those failures, I took a stance to manually pip all eggs at day 90 and never lost a single baby after that. It is now more common knowledge that the species should have relatively low incubation temps...but at the time I could find very little info.
After several years of regret with my decision to have sold off the last of my Gonyosoma , I now have acquired 1.2 CB silver phase and look forward to rebuilding a breeding group. They are awesome snakes - best of luck to you.
You can e-mail me as well if I may be of assistance.

Cheers,
Pat
