Congratulations, nice picture. You must be looking foreward to become "a new parent".

Will you drop us a few lines of how you have been cykling the snakes, what temperatures are and so on.

Are they allready warmed up after a cooling period, or are they breeding during a cooling period?

Regards,

they are cooling stage right now with heat provided under the cage(neashea). The female is in shed right now. I still offer food,, however it isn't taken readily as during the warmer months.

Thanks, that is very interesting information. It seems that rainbow boas also breed during cooling period. I have no experience my self in breeding rainbow boas, but I thought that they only breed after being warmed up in spring, and that there are quite demanding in this matter of cykling.

I have to females and a male BRB, that I will put together in spring (they are having lower temps now), but perhaps I should try to put them together now?

What are the "standard" procedures like? Suggestions are welcome. There are not many BRB breeders in Northern Europe, so I am a little alone here.
