Hi
Among a lot of other snakes I keep a pair of captive born Nerodia fasciata.
They were fairly small, when I got them, but now has grown to about 65 cm (about 2 feet)
They are absolutely not animals, that I want to prey on, and I have this image in my mind, that they will breed, IF I hibernate them.
So the question is. Should I hibernate them and maybe breed them next year or keep them warm and wait a year?
I really like them (these small cottonmouthlookalikes)and would not force anything. I have seen what that can turn into, so if they are too small please say so.
Best wishes
Søe
