First off I'm in New England so it's not -34 here. But it's going to be -10 to -15 F here tonight. Ouch!!!



Secondly I don't work with the species you listed, but until someone who does speaks up I'll offer a couple of thoughts.



I believe all three species are actually basically from tropical areas. Now even if they're montane, I don't believe they require the same type of brumation that temperate ratsnakes require. So that may acount for the difference in the relationship between shedding and brumation and mating.



If no one who works with these species jumps in, I'll do a little review of my favorite ratsnake resource (Schulz's Monograph) and see if I can find relevant info



Regards

John
