As for when I start pairing animals I started really early last year like October. But normally I try to start in November. There are females that I wont start breeding till Jan or march simply because they weren't up to weight or in past years they have been late to lay anyway so why waste the male on months of pairing just to have them lay in Aug again just like they did for the last 4 years..
I believe that will what i do my first season because it happens automatically in my apartment :rofl:
Our supper is not too quick to turn on heat in the building and sometimes my herpstat need to work on 115 on beginning of heating season :-/

That why I started doing that my snake room gets Cool..not cold in the winter so getting the cool side down to 70-75 is automatic. I did notice that some girls would stay glued to the hot spot and then one day BOOM they're on the cool side and that's where they say till about 2-3 weeks before they OVY then they move back..I could tell with in a week or two when a girl was going to OVY because of when they moved back to the heat.
Keeping the hot spot also means that females in the same rack that aren't getting paired this year don't suffer from lack of heat. So it lets me keep breeding and non-breeding girls and boy in the same rack..
