Thank you, Randy.

So, basically regular colubrid breeding parameters.

I had tried cycling them, two seasons in a row, as they are kept in the same room as my boas. My female would ovulate and produce eggs, but my male had no interest in her whatsoever. I had three (or was it four?) slugs from her the first season, and I figured that perhaps my male was too young. The second time around, the same thing happened except I got five slugs.

It would seem as though I'm just not gettin' 'em cold enough for the male to kick into "sex mode"...

I was worried about getting them too cold and having problems, seeing as they are so darned difficult to find here in Canada, believe it or not.
I actually may have a chance at being first to produce 'em up here...?

We'll see what happens this season.

Thanks.
