I just got a pair and need some breeding info. Very little found on the web.

Thanks

Anyone?

I haven't bred them but I have had gravid ones in the past. I would guess thier very easy to breed. For the most part snakes all follow the same breeding strategies and aren't very complicated. If I wanted to breed ophryomegas I don't think I would really do anything special. Maybe cool them slightly and just put them together. I have a feeling these guys will breed like mice. The one thing you have to be careful of is to watch for aggression ophryomegas will eat each other.

I kept a trio for about a year for a friend while he was in need and I kept them in separate containers. He came to pick them up one night to take them to a snake show to sell them and I put them all in the same container for travel. They almost immediately started breeding and bred all the way to the show. It was an October snake show, if I remember correctly and they had been exposed to the same conditions as my animals that had been cycled for breeding. That means warmer, drier summers and cooler, wetter falls.
