Have they mated?

[shedding]

Sounds like I should be getting a nesting box ready and another tank for the male and the fem at birth time huh? At this time of the year, gestation would put the birth date around Christmas/New Years, Normally since these are captive snakes they should be in brumation? at this time. If mating was successful would the fem hold off giving birth until after brumation? Should I force brumation or just keep them at around 70-80 deg in the tank so birth can occur successfully?

All good questions but we don't have the answers to most of them. Your snakes will let you know if they want to brumate and she'll let you know whether she's going to fertilize and deliver or wait.
I've had January deliveries, but never from a brumated snake. You don't need to separate them. You can do that shortly before any delivery. If she's going to deliver in 90-120 days he won't bother her anymore. His work is done. My snakes always do better with a roomate. Keep us posted and the best of luck.
