Andrea:
Schulz states "a hibernation period of 2 to 4 months at a temperature of 50 to 59 deg F is recommended...although breeding was also successful without such period". "Hatchlings... emerge from the eggs after 55 to 77 (rarely up to 88 days) at an incubation temperature of 77 to 84 deg F".

This info comes from the taeniura chapter in Shulz' book, A Monograph of the Colubrid Snakes of the Genus Elaphe Fitzinger. I actually don't work with that species. I highly recommend you check with one of the breeders of frisei. I think there are several on this forum. Maybe try your question again on the main ratsnake forum and hopefully one of them will chime in.
Best regards
John
