Need Breeding Advice

JMo Apr 12, 2014 04:01 PM

This is my first time breeding kingsnakes and i need some advice. I put a male hypo florida together with a female het hypo florida; sexes are confirmed. They both came out of brumation two weeks ago; the female shed on Wednesday. They are just lying together, no activity; sometimes on top of each other, sometimes next to each other.
Should I remove them from each other and continue to put them together tomorrow, the next day, etc., or should I just leave them alone together? Also, when I put them in their own enclosures, should they be fed while I'm attempting to get them to breed?

Thanks,
James

leave them together.. or just leave one male (the preferrred male)in with her.

When she is ovulating they will breed. What you need to concentrate on is feeding her a lot now..since they are not bonded I would take her out and feed them seperatly. Feed the males also!
