Poll: What time of day do you introduce your snakes for breeding?

[Pythonman]

I just wanted to see what the general opinion is. I figured because they're active at night that would be a good time for intro's, so that's when I've been doing it.

For those of you who are voting, do you think it matters? Have you tried different times?

[Sputnik]

It doesn't matter for me, I pair em up whenever I happen to be in the room to do it.

Same for me. This just happens to be evenings.

When I initially put my boys in with the girls, it was in the evening. After the first time, they would stay together for 4-5 days, then I'd move them out. When I put them back after a few days, I never really paid attention to the time.

they both did fine as I'm waiting on a clutch from one of my girls and the other is in shed right now....

I couldn't vote - it doesn't matter when I introduce them, it might be morning, it might be mid-day, it might be evening - depends on what I'm doing, and especially if a weather system is rolling in. My limited experience is I have greater success when there are changes in the barometric pressure more than time of day.

Thanks for all the responses! Robin, just a quick question, Do you find it is better to introduce when the barometric pressure is rising(before a storm if I remember correctly or as a storm is rolling in as you put it?), or when it is falling?(during or after the storm?). Thanks

[rabernet]

Well, this is my first year breeding, but I'm putting them in, in front of a storm. My males are with the female for 3 days, then get 4 days rest.

[Pythonman]

Storm coming in tonight! Thanks!
