    getting a pair of bull snakes & need some advice from other people who have owned the

    I'm doing some trading for a breeding pair of bull snakes & need a quick run down on them. I know there found around mexico & california so what should the temperature & humidity be? The guy said he's had them for 5 years & they have successfully bred every year & the female has double clutched the last 4 years. I know they can be mean & nippy at first but usually its just a bluff. Any other info on them would be great. I plan on breeding them so any info or advice on that would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Re: getting a pair of bull snakes & need some advice from other people who have owned

    Are they Gopher snakes, or Bull Snakes? Bull snakes can be found in Mexico and Cali, but are more abundant in the central areas of the United States such as Colorado. I treat mine as a desert species and only give him a light misting 2-3 a week and only double this when he is shedding. For heat i keep mine at about 88-89 this gives me some leeway in case something happens and I need to increase the heat. I do have to say that during the summer months my temps go up a degree or 2 so pay attention to this. I rarely see mine soaking even though he does have a water bowl large enough for soaking. They are great eaters and I have yet to notice my bull or pine snake turn down food. Good luck to you.

    I believe bull snakes, like corn snakes, run the gambit from mexico to southern canada...very hardy

    I keep them at ambient temps for the cool side which means 72-75, hot spot about 82-85, I do not like keeping colubrids any higher especially if they are breeders.

    Ambient humidity will be fine as well.
