Without writing a full one book, all you have to do is learn to palpate females. If you feel ovum, then its best to let them breed. Its my opinion, its far harder on the female to absorb ovum then lay eggs, and there is far more chance of error. Sometimes females absorb ovum fine, other times they can die. I lost a gophersnake this year. I did not have a male.
Also, you know I think you worry WAY to much. In reality, a female only needs three to five feedings to regain full condition. The way you obviously feed, maybe two feedings.
I feel you are creating lots of mis-information. Your doing that by not allowing snakes to do what they would have normally done. For instance, I could ask, is anyone had kingsnakes breed int the fall(like subocs) and you would say no, but you say that because of your actions and not the snakes actions. You kept them apart. How on earth do you know what they would have done.
That is far to common here, people say this and that, but the this and that, is based on the peoples actions and not the snakes. I kept them together and provided suitable cages, because I wanted to know what the snakes would do, not what they would do under my control. I provided a range of temps and food. They did the rest.
FYI, I have had cal kings lay good eggs every month of the year. They had no problems.
Sir, think about this, your job is not to command them, but to support them. Your suppose to follow their lead. If not, then don't go around saying your snakes did this or that.hahahahahahahahahaha
Actually you can command them all you want theres nothing wrong with it. Just don't confuse that with what snakes actually do. FR
