Okay people PEOPLE with larger collections. i have a question or two for you herpetoculturists.

How many times will a single male King breed in a 2 week period to multiple females? How many can he inseminate in a short period?

Is there a few days waiting period for a male to build up enough sperm after fully fertilizing a female?

I had a lone male copulate to as many as 4 females in a 3 week period. But it was a huge male Florida king with about 5 years of age on him. This year i have unique situation where i would like to breed a male to as many females as possible without missing that window of opportunity the female has for fertilization.. Thing is these are small (young'07 FLORIDANA )so i wonder how prolific young male Florida kings are?



This is mainly a question for FR and anyone else with libido problems...hopefully he will chime in!
