Questions about kingsake breeding,,,

waspinator421 Apr 05, 2006 07:55 PM

I am still considering getting a few kingsnakes and attempt to breed them. I was wondering if any here could provide me with, or direct me to, information about selective breeding? I've been researching the best that I know how, and haven't come up with much. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places.

I am especially interested in the thayeri, and would like to know how best to breed for a specific color, trait, pattern, etc. I would probably get some regular california kings as well, but not sure if I'd try mixing them with thayeri at this point.

Also, about how many snakes is a good place to start for breeding? Male/Female ratio?

Any pointers or nudges in the right direction will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

For tips on breeding thayeri, try the mexicana forum. There are lots of well known thayeri breeders there.
