Late locks and year round breeding?

Just wanted "the people's" input on these two topics. Was wonderin if anybody had any experience, or knew someone that did, get REALLY late locks, or "off season" locks. I also wanted to know if any of you have ever tried "tricky cycles" and was successful at breeding them during the summer, or producing hatchlings, in say, January? Any info shared and successful stories would be greatly appreciated.

I have a few females being bred as we speak. I'm expecting eggs at the end of the year :)

As for late late clutches, I have yet to get them, but I never bred for them either.

I had a pair lock up two weeks ago and the female is showing signs so maybe i will get an off-season clutch for the first time.

yeah, I was just wondering, cause I have a pair that's locking as we speak! And it's my most hopful pair too! - beautiful pastel male, BIG female! (3000g)

I had snake hatch as early as Jan. and as late as Thanksgiving, If they are intersted, keep breeding

Sometime in May I decided to just keep breeding -- all year. Controlling night temps during hot months and giving males an off-season will be my biggest issues -- unless there are some I am unaware -- which is LIKELY. ;)

I will say that this week I had locks, ovulations, clutches laid, and babies hatching -- that is a pretty good week. :D

I have some that just started locking.

I tried to pair mine back up last week, but they wanted nothing to do with each other. Only reason I tried is that I had paired them this season..and it seemed like things were going great, lots of locks etc, but no babies :( Oh well, it is almost next season anyways.

I have 1 female that is still getting visits from her Yellowbelly BF. ;)

I breed through out the whole year...I had eggs laid every month last year except one...It would have been every month if one female hadn't decided to go a few days past her prelay shed.

We pretty much breed em when theyre ready.

We dont stick to a season at all.

Good questions OP.

Jon and any others, I've been considering doing some year round breeding. Could you share a few tips on how you do it? I'm particularly interested in how you cycle (lights and temps), how you plan for a rest period for your males and females and the type of feeding response you get throughout the year. Thanks!

Yeah, I second that Alice! I always did seasons with mine, cycled them, and only bred at certain times of the year. I think I'm gonna try something a little different this year!! And ya know, they're not robots. If they feel like gettin their groove on in Jan.,June or October, well then I say let em'! :D
