Is it too late in the season to put a male with a female and get good results? My male was on the small side but is not up to good size.. Is it too late in the season? Should i give it a go, or wait till after the summer

The only one who can answer that question is your snakes. If they are a good age, size, and body condition just put them together for a month and see what they do.

Give them a shot and see what happenes.

One of my girls is gravid and due in 2 months, another one just got started. Another pair I tried isn't doing anything and probably won't. That male was an '08 and I think he just hasn't figured it out yet. They never follow 'the rules'

I'd been trying this pair off and on since October and finally for the first time, I catch this last night:

Good luck,

Nice pic.. What pairing is that.. Hypo male to a Snow??

Thanks! Nothing that fancy, female is just an albino (she's a '98, not much color but a proven breeder) and the male is a hypo harlequin I produced in '06 (he is not het anything).

Not too late at all, if the snakes are ready, they will breed ! I've got some boas halfway down the track and others just getting going this year.

cheers, John

It takes more than size for them to breed.

Male is 2 years now, female is 5 years. Both virgins
