This is the first year that I may be able to breed my F1 albino helleri. I have traditionally put my snakes together in the spring but I see more and more evidence that they will breed in the winter also. Any ideas on this?

True.
Some Mexican Crotalids are fall breeders.
Females "over-winter" with babies born in early spring.
I think montane rattlesnakes do that as well.

I keep my crotalids together throughout the year and in many, I see breeding in spring and late summer/early fall. If you are already cooling the animals separately, I would put them together once you begin the warm up.
