So another question. Do you stick to the cool down the snakes Oct 1st, start breeding Nov 1, heat back up on Mar 1, or do you just breed whenever? Do you drop the heat at all or just make sure he snakes are healthy, happy, up to weight, and put them together and let them do what nature tells them?
Over the years I have done it several different ways.

Now I generally breed whenever the animals are ready proper weight for first timers, 6 months break between laying and pairing for proven breeders + back to normal weight and some more.

So I do not cool and breed year round and have clutches as early as February and late as November.
