I have recently picked up a pair of CB 00 dumerils, both the male and the female are about 5ft long and in great condition.

I would like to attempt breeding them in the coming months.

Does anyone have any hints, tips, guidance for what I should do with them?

The are currently housed together (and have been for the last two years) and eat like pigs taking 2 weaner rats each per week. Temp is 78, they are kept on newspaper and humidity is 50 - 60%.

Do I need to cool them down? Separate them? Reduce food etc etc.

Many thanks

Carl
