Re: Breeding

Yep. I know six weeks is a fairly common "short" brumation. I also normally brumate them between 2 & 3 months, but I'm curious how short is possible. I also wonder if a short cooling stimulates otherwise "ready" snakes, or if it actually does anything, physiologically.

Don,
When you cooled yours for a week, and they tried to mate, I wonder if they would have mated even without the cooling. Did you try pairing them up before cooling them? Thanks,
Rick
