Another thought before I take the plunge:
If these snakes are together is there any danger of them breeding at too young or small for the females? It seems in nature breeding would take place when the females are ready to be successful at producing clutches, and there would be no breedings too early for the females.
Also, once a female is gravid it seems a wise move to temporarily separate her from her group or partner so she can lay her clutch in peace, without someone else eating her eggs. In nature she would be able to find a place away from the others to lay her clutch. In captivity, a habitat would have to be at least as big as a large rock outcropping to give her a private place to nest. ----- Bob/Chris
