Ok, so, I have two snakes, a BP and a corn. The BP is feeding on live adult mice, and the corn on fuzzies. I may consider adding another snake in the future as well.

Because the BP is feeding on live, I have to be going to the petstore every two feedings to get more mice. And along with getting mice for the corn, it's rather expensive.

Because of this, I am (hopefully)going to start breeding. I have an old "college-dorm" refrigerator that I have gutted and will put in my garage with 2 plastic shoebox tubs in it, one for a male breeder and one for a female breeder. There will also be a fan running every few hours for ventilation and a heat mad or flexwatt mounted on the door of the fridge for maintaining the proper temp. I will place the male in the female's tub until signs of pregnancy are determined in the female, and then the male will be returned into his own tub. The young will stay with the female until it's time to be weaned (unless they are already picked out to feed the corn), and then they will be separated into two 10 gallon tanks, one for each sex.

The fridge idea is just to maintain a constant temperature sense it will be in the garage, where smell won't be an issue.

I'm also having some problems with sexing mice from the petstore. It might just be that on my last try at it I had four females, and no male to compare.

Another thing, as far as water goes, is it okay to just put some water in a small dish instead of using a bottle?

Does this sound like an all right way to start breeding?

I will answer any questions about specifics.
