Hi Ross, you seem to be working on an assumption as to when snakes cycle.

If you actually check, there is very little varaiation between Kings in SoCal and kings in Washington/oregon. Or here in tucson where its much hotter earlier.

The point is, assumptions or prejudices. You have them, and thats fine, but do not let them control you.

Frank, I only assume what I don't know but I'm not using those assumptions to make a point. All I asked for were your thoughts to see if I could learn a little more about what I don't know and then maybe I wouldn't have to assume. So far I have got all my info from Hubbs, but I like to hear what others, that have been around longer than my self, think as well.

So again, you have no evidence that a kingsnake gravid in mid august is on its first clutch and in fact, that is highly unlikely based on what you know.
Maybe if I was making a stance here, I would need evidence, but I'm not, so I don't need it. lol Like I said, all I wanted to hear were your thoughts on that because I thought it was interesting that aspect hadn't been discussed here. Thank you.
