    Need Info
    Well I downloaded Metzcal and I am putting in all the information for a corn snake, since that's the only reptile I have at the moment.

    I have the Family name: Colubridae
    Main Species Name: Elaphe guttata

    But I need to know other things just so its in there. I'm currently trying to find info online, but I'd like to see what you all can provide.

    I need:

    -The Minimum and Maximum lengths for a hatchling, adult male and adult female
    -The Minimum and Maximum weights for a hatchling, adult male, and adult female
    -Lifestyle, is it terrestrial, aboreal, semi-terresterial, ect.
    -Is it nocturnal, diurnal, or crepuscular?
    -Is it roundyear, hibernation, estivation?
    -Is it a loner, or is it social? (I'm thinking loner on this one)
    -Level 1,2,3,4,5, or ssP variable in aggressivness?
    -I know it is found in the United States, but is it found anywhere else? If not, what states is it found in?
    -Is it oviparous, ovoviparous, or viviparous?
    -Multiple Clutch, parthogenesis, spermetophore, hermaphrodite?
    -Mating Season
    -When does the male and female reach maturity?
    -Gestation period?
    -Minimum and Maximum clutch size?
    -Minimum and Maximum incubation days?
    -Minimum and Maximum incubation temps?

    Re: Need Info
    I don't know some of those, but I'll give you my best shot. ;)

    -Terrestrial though they do enjoy climbing sometimes
    -diurnal
    -brumation if you're breeding them, otherwise keep them at same temps/humidity year round
    -loner
    -1, they are not typically aggressive, however hatchlings can be nippy because they are scared.
    -here's a map of their range http://www.cincyzoo.org/Exhibits/Ani...snakerange.jpg
    -oviparous as with all rat snakes.
    -multiple clutches are often observed with captive breeding of corn snakes.
    -breeding season is Nov-May
    -breeding age varies a bit, but males typically by 18 months, and females around 3 years of age
    -From ovulation to egg laying - 6-7 weeks, then another 65 days of incubation before hatching.
    -6-12 eggs/clutch
    -incubation temps 82-85

    Shelby to the rescue :carrot: .Not all corns need brumation though in order to breed succesfully :) .
