I have a 3 year old male in a Vision tank Model #222 --- 28" wide --- 24" deep --- 24" high. He has a very high contrast of yellow and I would love to breed him. Does anyone know if I can put a female in there with him and can I keep her in there at all times, or just when I want to breed them. I would hate to have to by a second cage just for her. And if I can breed them, can anyone tell me where I can find info on exactly how I go about doing this. I have never bred snakes before, but I have owned a few snakes for years now.

Thanks in advanced for any info given.

Another tank is certainly the best way to go if you want to improve your chances of breeding them, as well as making husbandry easier (feeding time can be problematic when they share an enclosure).
But if you'd "hate" to have to get another tank then you should perhaps put some thought into what you would do if you breed them successfully. As well as an incubator, you'd need to think about housing for the the babies until you can sell them. It isn't something you should go into if you aren't wholly committed.

That cage would be the minimum size, and I would also suggest getting another cage, especially since you will want to separate them once the female is gravid, even if you keep them together year round. I would get another cage and find a nice female from a reliable breeder.
