It's been a while since I bred corn snakes. I've only ever done one pairing and it took right away so there wasn't much effort in it. Now I want to breed my snow female to my ghost vanishing stripe male. Both are old enough and large enough to breed. I don't brumate my snakes and when I bred my snow before to a different male (I don't have him anymore) I didn't brumate or change their temp in any way. Just introduced female to male, they did the deed on the first try, and I got eggs. To be honest I don't even recall what time of year I bred them. Id have to go back in my records to find out. So my question is, when should I introduce them? I don't heat them so I have no way to lower temps unless I house them in a different part of the house. Reptile room stays above 75.
And yes you read right. I don't heat my corn snakes. I haven't in several years and I've never encountered a problem. My snakes eat, shed, poop, and grow just as well as they did when they were heated. I've experimented both ways and find not heating them works just fine. I always observe for signs of illness and I'm very aware of the health of my snakes.
