BTs: Winter or Spring Breeders??

LloydHeilbrunn Sep 22, 2006 10:47 AM

I have a female which I would like to breed this year but my male is a yearling. I was thinking of looking around for a breeding loan this or next month for pairing in November, assuming they were winter breeders like Easterns.

But I just noticed the caresheet at Indigosnakes.com suggests cooling two months starting in November,which in my mind makes them spring breeders.

So which is correct? And when should I start asking around??

Thanks in advance.

early winter, around December 5th or so. I started cooling them by allowing a window to be opened and letting the cool air in early November. I also raised the humidity by spraying the cage down everyday for a couple of weeks. Not sure if that was right but it worked and all it took was one copulation for a bunch of healthy eggs!
