Now ya want me to put together a survey.



Any suggestions on the pertinent questions?



Some that come to mind:



What is the standard size enclosure used to house breeding females?



What species of snake do you breed?



If multiple species of snakes, and multiple cage sizes, please elaborate for each species.



What is your normal feeding schedule for each species?



What criteria or criterium do you use to decide on the first breeding for a never-bred female? (age, length, weight)



How many clutches of eggs do you produce in an average year?



How many of your females go eggbound in a given year?



How many eggbound females have you had altogether (if possible to answer)



Thats all I can think of at the moment.
