While some on here rail on letting snakes make their own choices. If snakes were really smart, had full time jobs and saved money dont you think they would go to Disney World?? Well, assuredly, birth control is a choice. The truth is they arent smart enough to migrate, but they are resourceful enough to survive. FORCED brumation is certainly a stress on animals, and I'm sure many dont survive each season because of it. Providing less stress alters their habitat more than anything else and your experiment only emphasizes this. Now I am sure that given the same circumstances some snakes could eventually express fertility, but the issue comes full circle. WHY?? Why do YOU keep snakes? If you want to keep them as pets keep them warm and feed them heavy year round. If you want to breed them keep them within the same temp ranges they occur in nature.

I couldnt let it go without a bad joke though Tony! Maybe their choice is be like their owner....slowing down, get fat and happy practicing safe sex?! But maybe its MONOGAMY that is bringing on added stresses!! LMAO!!
