A breeding question?

JasonW Jan 26, 2008 02:05 AM

Has anyone had any luck this year yet? I have put my male in with one of my females a few times already but they have shown no interest. Is it to early?

Have they both had a post-brumation shed? That's when breeding usually starts.

Also, light cycle is important. At this point in time daylight is relatively short. Unless you are artificially lighting your snakes and giving them extended daylengths, they may not be triggered to breed yet.

Most breeders cool their corn snakes until the middle of February or beginning of March.

Thanks a million, I did not brumate them but come to think of it, it has been a while since there last shed so maybe while I did not brumate them there clocks are still in that mode. I do not provide them lite so that may be it to. Thanks again I will keep them apart, wish me luck for next month.
