Breeding question (not genetics though)

[piranhaking]

I do plan to ventalate the fridge. We will be sitting it up to use for nothing else so i will be able to modify it as needed. I should have mentioned that in the first post, but i didnt. As far as timing goes, I have read that some breeders are breeding year round and with out cooling, and being successful with it. It seems to me that it shouldnt matter all that much. I dont see where the snakes would have any way of knowing what part of the year it is anyway. They have no input from outside. They are both kept inside, in rooms with no exterior windows. They have no way to detect changes in the temp, or day length, etc. They have both been in captivity for atleast 10 years. Once the young are born, they will be inside, their food will be provided, so they dont have to rely on being able to find food of the right size. There is no issue with temp, because once again, they are inside. The guy that came to sex them for me is involved in alot of snake breeding. He took care of most the snakes at the school before he graduated, and since he gratuated he has been working strictly with a breeder that has been working with alot of milk snakes and did corns for a while. He said both snakes looked to be in very good shape. I completely understand your concern though, you didnt come across as rude at all. I may be way off base on the aspect of the timing not being as important though. I guess i need to look into that a little more. Maybe i should go ahead and wait a few more months. Also, any ideas on any other way to cool them when theres not a room cool enough around.
