Breeding Subocs

MikeMurphy Jun 16, 2005 10:35 AM

Hello. Does anyone here have any experience breeding subocs? I have an adult pair (female het for blonde, male blonde) that have bred the last two years. Both times the female laid all infertile eggs. They breed much later than my other colubrids, usually late June or July. They both eat great and I've been supplementing. They went through a winter cool down both years and again this year. My "snakeroom" is my garage so I'm wondering if it gets too hot by the time breeding rolls around for them, since it's so late in the season. Any ideas how i can get fertile eggs? Any tricks with these guys? Thanks a lot.

Mike,
I am cooling my Trans Pecos rats now. It is my first pair that I obtained last month. The previous owner said they successfully bred and produced last year. I am curious about breeding as well. She didn't seem to indicate that they bred any later than her corns...so I'm not sure. Please post your progress!(as will I) Good luck.

BTW I have them at 52 degrees I figure till the end of Jan. does this sound right?
