I was just wondering when every one begins to warm up their kings for breeding. Any info would be helpful thanks, Josh

When should I pull my snakes out of hibernation?

Depends on when you dropped the temps for them......
I put mine in hibernation on Thanksgiving and warm up betwee Valentines Day and March 1st. This year they were warmed up on Valentines Day...............

Kings only need about 2 to 3 months of brumation until they are ready for breeding. You can leave them in longer than that, just make sure they are not dehydrated. I wait until the temperatures outside are in the 70s for good, that way it's warm in my snake room, as I do not have heat pads or heat tape for all enclosures.

Thanks a lot for the help. I think I will pull them out in about 30 days. Thanks again.
