>>i heard that corn snake can produce 4 cluches a year. is this true? after they lay the egg should i put the male again to mate?





my advise would be:

Only ever double clutch a female if you are 100% sure that that female is in tip top condition and very well fed.



Normaly if a female is going to double up she will without any other mateings.



Ok if you are sure the female is as i said and you want to go for a second clutch , you would let her lay her eggs then allow her to shed then feed with a couple of small mice, wait a day then introduce to the male, then introduce a few more times over the next couple of days, hopefully by this time they would have mated a few times, now stop the mateings and concentrate on feeding the female up a bit one small/medium mouse every 3 days untill she stops feeding and every thing should be fine.



as to 4 clutches well im sure its happend but NOT ADVISABLE...

And anyway by the time youve got your 3 clutch most males wont be interested any way.



In all the years i have been breeding snakes on ever once did a female lay 3 clutches of eggs. and all of those clutches were small ie 5-8 , so it end with an average egg yeild anyway.





Im sure there are more people here with other info for you about this subject.
