    You might be able to if someone got their snake to breed in the off season but I doubt it! The summer time is the time to shop for hatchlings. You can get bps that are 6-8 months old right now!

    How does a BP living in captivity know when it is breeding season if they are in a controlled environment and the temps are the same all the time?

    I'm not arguing or disagreeing with you, but just genuinley curioius. It seems as though theroetically you could get a BP to breed whenever you want to as long as you can "fool" it into thinkig it is breeding season.

    Actually there are people that breed all year around. Many breeders do keep their animals in the normal breeding season during the winter here because the naturally dropping temps make it easier to cycle.

    to the OP, there are probably a lot of people that have normal males available, babies, juvies and adults. Email a few breeders and see what they've got.
