For those who have produced BCC in recent years, I was wondering how old your PROVEN male and female BCC were the FIRST time they produced?

This would be some very interesting data to have. Many people state that BCC are much more difficult to breed than BCI and still others state that they breed their BCC and BCI under identical conditions, etc.

Without trying to sort through all of that, and without trying to examine any other reasons for why BCC might not breed for someone (because there are tons), I am just curious how much of a contributor age/maturity is in those cases where people have males that won’t breed; females that won’t ovulate, etc.

Thanks for sharing!

My female surinam is Gravid for her first time and she is 6 years old. The male that got her this year is a four year old Hypo Colombian. I hope this helps... Also I have try her last year and nothing happened. This year it happened very fast, she was my first snake to ovulate. She is 8 1/2 feet and about 40lbs.

Was it the same male and same cycling technique you used last year with no results?

In 2002 I bred one female from 1995 and one from 1996 the first time, both with males from 1996.

Was that the first time you had attempted to breed them? I assume viable offspring resulted?

It was the first time they bred. I keep them together with the males around the year. One had 22 babies and the other one 11 babies and some slugs.
