Hey guys/gals, I threw my '05 male in with my '98 female just for sh!ts and grins. Well it turns out that my female is the horniest thing ever..... wagging tail, "opening" up for all to see, etc, etc. It didn't look like my male was too interested (its funny to see a 600 gram male in with a 2000 gram female) but I went ahead and left him in over night and this morning they are hooked up!! Very cool I thought. But my question is should I just continue with the breeding like I would during "normal" breeding time or should I just go ahead and seperate them when they are done and continue on the year like I had planned...... drop the temps and cool, etc.

Anyway....

Thanks
Jason

Your female will not become gravid(pregnant) without the proper brumation(cooling) period. They will have a little fun without this, but that it all. Mine are always getting it on if I put them together, but nothing results without the recommended 3 month cooling period. Hope this helps, so I wouldn't expect anything to come of this.

Never say never! I had two males cohabitating in February while I moved, and they are normals (I use them when I teach as display snakes), so they weren't cooled. Well one of males (I got him as a male) turned out to be female and laid eggs in April (all 4 hatched out in June!).

He maintains a constant 85 degrees all year round for all his breeding.
