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

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?

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 :)

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.

Storm coming in tonight! :) Thanks!
