First time breeder here...Ive done months of research and thread trolling and i feel prepared. I only have three snakes ready for breeding this year(two 1300g normal females and a nearly 800g male pastel), none of then have ever been bred before and i did my first pairing last week.
I have a few questions i havent been able to find an answer to yet.
1. I live in Florida. I didnt plan on providing my snakes with a cooling period...but the weather is cooling off and i live in a trailer with poor insulation so im afraid temps are gonna drop anyways. Am i ok to continue to keep pairing? Will the temp drops off and on we experience here in florida provent them from wanting to breed?
2. Am I ok to pair right after feeding time? Should i give them time to digest and poop before i pair them for a few days?
3. Since my snakes are unproven,is there anything i can do to coax along successful breedibg? Ive read read putting two males in with a female can make the male competetive and may cause locking more often. Do you think i can acheive the same by putting the male pastel with both females at the same time can cause the same effect? I kbow that sounds kinda stupid but i figured it couldnt hurt to ask.
Any and all info/stories are greatly appreciates guys. Thanks!
