    Well they both have to be up to weight, have to be very well fed, and both ahve to be willing to breed. Also you need an incubator set up ready for eggs about 1-2 weeks prior to the eggs being laid, the medium of your choice for inside the egg tub, patience. A huge passion for the animals, a way to house and or sell the babies after they ahve fed and shed not to mention the ability to feed the little ones. I konw I am missing a lot but that is about the basics. Breeding weights for females is about 1200-1500 grams minimium imo and for males I get best luck with atleast 700 grams.

    copulation does not mean youll get eggs. now if she ovulated then you sure to get something

    Re: breeding

    i drop the temp 10 degrees at night and 5 dgrees during the day. most of my snakes start slowing their eating when i do this. then 3-4 weeks later i put male and female together and see lock ups pretty quick.
