Sperm retention is not uncommon at all in hognose. I have had them go 18 months after a lock up before laying. David Turcotte has had one go more than two years.
What stimulates them is an interesting phenomena. It is usually caused by changes in heat and light.
Many will attest on these forums to hognose they purchased as sterile snakes or worn out breeders that after being shipped bred and produced viable babies. Somehow a night in a dark box with a cold pack has often done the trick.
In relation to your hog laying while brumating, I believe that the first superconda came from a gravid anaconda that Bumgardner noticed gravid while in brumation. ----- Thank you,
Kevin Rhodes
