hey bill those snakes are pretty ugly! but hopfully theyll breed this year, do you keep them seperate till spring and do you give them heat in the winter? joe B

Check length on the male he may be a record. If he breaks 8 feet six inches he will be the longest snake ever recorded in the United States good genes anyway. I cool mine at 55F for three months. I keep them seperate. I feed the female like a pig coming out of hibernation with a sixteen hour light cycle. I pair immediatly after her first post hibernation shed. I breed them toward the end of March. I get eggs around the middle of June. I use an extra male to combat to make sure the male I want to breed closes the deal. I will trade you a pair of Elephant Mountain youngsters for a pair of those.
