starting early? late? whichever

so i had a few females go later in the year, follicles are around 20mm give or take. but ive been palpating and checking for growth. and to my suprise the girls who DIDNT go are going to after all. put in the bumblebelly with a big normal female 15 mins later hes locked up.


most people dont start until nov. i however listen to my snakes, or watch them if you will. temps are up during the day and the ambient falls at night. its 69 here in NC at night and 85 during the day.

what are some thoughts on starting early or late so to speak! :)

I go buy the natural state of the area im in. Last year around this time I saw my female building this time of year so I knew this was the time to start in my part of the country ( MN) and I've witnesses no arguments from my snakes I've witnessed numerous lock-ups.

i agree with you.
