Hello and thanks for yalls time. I am wanting to breed several animals in my collection this coming spring. Is my 3 year old male capable of breeding with 3 adult females? He is almost 4ft and about 460grams.

Sorry, my iPad has a massive crack in the screen and it caused me to post the thread before I was done writing it.. Please if any of the you guys could share your stud male stories or recommendations that would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

Sure he can service three females and more. Simply rotate the male in with the different females. He can easily breed females twice in a day with a fresh reserve of sperm because they typically stagger the use of each hemipenis on either side of their cloaca for any given breeding. Each hemipenis has its own individual sperm duct. This is natures way of ensuring the snakes can mate as often as possible, with as many females as possible.

cheers, ~Doug
