I just got my BP's this year and won't be ready to breed for probably two years, as they are all 08's. I was wondering should I be cooling my snakes as if they were going to breed? I assume in the wild there would be some type of cool down period. And I know from when I had Tegus that it was advised that you let them hibernate in the winter so that they did not mature to quickly. Also does power feeding snakes cause them to grow faster then there sexual maturity? I know with Tegus they say that growing to fast causes their sexual organs to stretch rather then grow in at an appropriate rate.
