Breeding with no Brumation?
I know of 2 breeders who have bred milk snakes with no brumation or cooling what so ever.... one breeds hondurans and nelsons and the other accidently bred pueblans thinking he had 2 males!
Now I am wondering if it is possible or evene asy to breed milks with no brumation - i have a pair of pueblans(both prven though not together) which i want to breed but i cannot lower temps below 18 C anywhere in my house - do you think i could get away wqith not brumating like my buddy with the hondurans and nelsons he has bred so many times?
Re: Breeding with no Brumation?
Seperate them into differnt areas of the house and slow the feeding down to almost nothing, then in the spring put em together and you should get a lock right away then start feeding heavy. A meal before you put them together wont hurt though.

keep temps up and cease feeding? i cant brumate them whole house is too warm
Re: Breeding with no Brumation?
do you have any closets on an exterior wall? Stick a thermometer in there and see what the temp is. How about a garage or empty room. Block off a window and stack tubs up by it, close it off with 2" styrofoam. Several years ago I bred about 100 colubrids in a 2 bedroom apartment. There are ways to do it.....depending on what your living situation is like.
