I'm first going to admit that I don't have any experience with mountain kingsnakes. The only kings I keep are mexican blacks. I might suggest looking into how low the temps are when you cool them. On the other hand, I have friends that don't brumate their kings at all and are successfull. Perhaps the problem is with the individual snakes and not your methods?



Of pure interest, because public use is many years down the road, but at a bio seminar this fall I ran into a reptile reproductive therapist! They developed a fecal test to tell if veiled chameleons had ovulated. I thought it was pretty far out, and the methodology could be used to detect different reproductive states for many different species.



Good luck in your future endeavors with this species



Ian
