Why do you think they didn't go, too? Were they raised they same and bonded the same?
The same reason 3-4 ft kings don't always cycle in Florida. CBI has his snakes in Florida were snake rooms tend not to get below 75f.
Mine all did. But mine were the same small size and I don't live in Florida were it is hard to get a room cold. My room gets cold during winter and I have the heat tape on. Offering the snakes choices during their maturty into adulthood times their cycling right. It is hard to offer choices in florida where snake rooms don't get down to 40-50F and you can't keep the heat tape on all winter. Usually a forced cooling is required and that can be hit or miss during the snakes development stage of being able to cycle when it needs to. You are then left with guessing when the right time is to do a forced cooling based on the snakes size. Which could be to early for its early stage of developement.
Again, offerring choices is the rule of thumb here. The snakes cycle on their own when given choices. When you take that away you are controlling the time span needed and when the snakes need it. With choices the snake brumates itself by choosing hot and cold. They will automatically develope follicles and sperm when given proper temp range choices.. ----- "2. How many eggs could a 20 inch king even make, if even possible? Remember, they have lungs, a stomach, etc,
