breeding pair

stage9 Aug 07, 2005 07:04 PM

I have a small male okeetee corn and I eventually want to breed. I think that I should get a female of a similar age now, so it wont be hard to find one of the right age when the time comes. Before I get the female I have a couple of questions. Can I house the male and female together at this early age, and keep them together till breeding age? If I can, how large of a tank should I use for the pair? The male is currently residing in a ten gallon. I want to get a female while 2005 babies are still available.
- Thanks in advance for any help
Eric

You want to keep them separated till the female is old enough to breed (2-3 years) then you can put the male in for breeding season. It's not really a good ideal to house them year around together. Experienced snake keepers have done it successfully but to avoid any prossible problems (stress, spread of parasites, injuries during or after feeding etc.).
