If you put two snakes together for the first time in spring. Like what most budding herpetologists do-



#1 how do you know you didn't miss the ovulation window of that female last week? And now the problem worsens when one mate looks at the other mate as a meal instead.



Second thing is, snakes know what to do!..WHAT!? Yes they do if we allow them choices. Isn't that amazing? They actually know when to breed each other if given choices.



Amongst those choices I keep my snakes in a cold room with the heat tape on all year. This way they can choose the right temps and can be hot, lukewarm, cold ect.



So they basically sit on the hotspot when they are conserving calories . Then they go to the warm side and move back and forth between hot- warm-hot-lukewarm-back to hot and so on. They go through a process of using different temps to digest their bolus meal.
