Breeding year round

[RebelYell83]

i dont cool them either,its just easier for me to keep the temps stable and leave em there,though i MIGHT cool some this year,and not others,and see if it had any difference on when i get eggs,dont think it will to be honest,but i get bored and like doing experiments

So help me understand this.....

I live in Auburn, AL and have a small collection that i intend on breeding one day. You're telling me that i don't have to cool the snakes to get them to breed? I just toss the male in with the female and everything should workout? That's interesting.....

Also, do you guys that don't cool your snakes wait until the normal time of year to try and breed them, or will any time during the year work out as long as they're all up to weight?

With the exception of the ones outside since we have been redecorating, mine live in 74 degree air conditioning all year long (with under the tank heating of course). I would think the outside ones would naturally cool with the season (though we don't really have much season here, it's hot all year on and off). But wouldn't the indoor ones be able to be "tricked" so to speak?

I don't cool my snakes either. I started pairing in September and got eggs in May. This next season (omg its right around the corner!) I might start pairing later since I want to give one female a rest from breeding this season and I have two girls I need to get some weight on (both are 800-850g). I'm going to get them up to 1500 and then breed them whenever I think they are ready.

I have a pair that just started locking up last week. And I didn't cool.

Ya cooling an animal for breeding really isnt a required thing for it to be sucessful .

animals can sense the change of seasons naturally (kinda like a biological clock)
cooling of temps isnt whats sets them into breeding mode . i have had boas that bred all year round and threw in off season without changing any temps .
cooling is IMO overrated , cause some desert animals see 100 during the day and 40-50 at night during the summer time . i guess it just depends on your prefference .

You guys just made it that much easier for me. Thank you all for your input.

So breeding could be done whenever, without cooling?

correct, it can be done
