Reptile & Amphibian Forums

i've posted this to the breeding forum but it doesn't look like people frequent there.

anyone have experience that they'd like to share? i've never done a cross before. they've been bulking up for about a month-month and a half. both are proven breeders but i've never personally breed the male. i've never breed kings. should i just breed them like i'd breed corns it seems pretty much the same process. or are their “tricks” to make successful crosses?

... This is really a question for the hybrid forum but to my knowledge it is the same as breeding corns unless you are breeding one of the more fickle breeding varieties of kingsnake. Don't remember which ones (think gray bands but may be wrong) but some have abnormally strict brumation requirements for successful breeding and there may be other issues but I believe for the average kings it is the same as corns.

I'm not sure about jungle to king but a lot of times when people are going to breed corn to king they will put two kings together and right when they are about to hook up they will replace the appropriate king with the corn.
Kind of scary to leave a corn with a king for too long. They're not called the "king" snake for no reason. They do like to eat other snakes.
