I never did when i was breeding them ;).I found my breeders did better still eating during the time when others were sleeping.What other questions do you have?

The temp to incubate is 78 to 80.They normaly will not breed until springtime.If they are in the "mood" i left them together for 3 days then seperate for 3 and offer them food.I would introduce them a couple more times unless they stopped showing interest in each other.Depending on your pair it might only take one session.One more thing you should know it is possible for them to double clutch from just one breeding.Infact i had one girl that triple clutched on me :cool:.The size of the tubs depends on how big your incubator is.

If you dont push him he should be able to take care of all 3 girls.Of course as long as he is healthy in the beggining because once he gets in the mood he will more then likely stop eating.Books to learn more about breeding? I more or less learned as i went along because in my opinion most books are out of date and the info is worthless.How old are your snakes? What types of corns are they?

You will definatly be waiting another year maybe 2 depending on how they grow.Well you should produce ghosts for sure unless anyone of them has "hidden" genetics you are not aware of.
