Dave, I think you are probably right about temps playing a role in gestation times and you might be right about my temps.

Bailey and Aurora are both kept in 4 foot long vision cages in a stack with with one temperature controller. With the temperature gradient and both snakes pushing their hides around it makes it difficult to keep them at a specific temperature. The middle cage is probably a little warmer also. I remember seeing them at temperatures of 79 or 80 up to 84 or 85. I just didn't pay that much attention to the temps as long as it was in that range. Maybe next year I will put a brick on top of their hides to keep them in one spot. It would be nice to reduce the gestation times, get babies earlier and get the moms feeding earlier also. Dan
