I am just getting into colubrids and want to know how hard they are to breed? I am looking at a trio of tangerine hondurans.
Thanks

Honduran milks and most snakes of genus Lampropeltis are more predictable and simpler to breed than most boids, in my opinion.
Other genera can be more tricky.
With Lampropeltis, basically, you "brumate" or put them in a cool dark place to about 3 months (about 55-60 F) after making them fast for a couple weeks to clear their digestive track...then you warm them in the spring, start "introducing" them to one another.
Not too much to it!

of cake. Though Iv'e bred boas without trying to, but like Dean said, Lampropeltis, is an easy one to bread. Some triangulum are easier than others, of course.-Brett
