SK breeding...

caecilianman02 Apr 06, 2005 07:29 PM

Hey,

I have a male SK who is doing really well, and whom I can tell would make a great breeder. I have found a source for a female, and am interested in breeding these. If I get this, then I need them to breed by September. I was wondering if this is a difficult species to breed. Do I need to do anything, or do you just need to put them in together? I am interested in this. How long do the eggs take to hatch?

Thanks!

You'll probably need to cycle them the same way you do with other colubrids. I'd say go for it, but get her with the intent of breeding her next spring. This way you have a season to fatten her up and make sure she is well acclimated before you put her through the stress of breeding and egg laying.
