Totally exceptable. I do this sometimes as well and have no problems breeding in the Spring. If you think about it though, I am sure males and females brumate in the wild together anyway. My guess is you will be fine.

I do it and don't have any trouble with it. I keep my snakes at 50 degrees which keeps them from eating each other ( getula, alterna, triangulum, calligaster, mexicana, pyros) and they breed in the spring. Don't worry about it.

I do look forward to those but it will have to wait. Tonight it's pizza and buds for the indy / steelers game!
