I keep 2.2 for a friend and produced clutches of 7 and 8 from the respective females.

I simply cooled them down for several weeks last winter and in late winter/early spring started a program of pair them up for a week or two and then separating them for feedings. Sometimes I even put all four together.

I did not hook up my misting system but I think I would do that in the future.

I found the process pretty straightforward but I probably just got lucky. Of course, I won't feel lucky until the eggs hatch and the babies are established.

Neat snakes.
