Sometimes you just cant help what nature does. If the snake had just 1 chance to mate, its likely to lay eggs. |

All snakes are different. Laura Vaughn doesn't want ANY eggs so she would probably rather not risk it. |

Really?? I havent had that problem. My female only lays eggs once a year. and all year long, shes with my 2 males until I remove her so she can lay her eggs. |

Keep them seperated until after April, considering this is breeding month. Then you can put your female back into the tank with your male. Ide possibly wait till late May or even June to put her back in to make sure. Good Luck!
No no no, this is absolutely NOT true, as above corns can AND DO breed all year round, the only way is to keep them apart permanently! :) |

couldnt have put it any better than kd. Of course its not true that if they are housed together the eggs will not be fertile... Separate them if you do not want babies. |

The only way you can be sure of them not producing eggs is to keep them housed seperately. If you house them together, they will breed and most likely will produce fertile eggs. You don't have to incubate any eggs produced, you can freeze them and dispose of them. However, there are alot of risks associated with breeding and would you really want to expose your female to those risks for nothing. Also if you house them together, the male could continually pester the female for sexy time causing her alot of stress.
If space is an issue, you could stack 2 vivs on top of each other, or house them in RUBS, or any other brand plastic storage box, which take up less space. |

I also read somewhere that if they are housed together the eggs are not fertile. Is this true/ |

Here is my problem. I have had them almost 3 years and thought until this time last year they were both male. They then got seperated but now I'm hoping that maybe I can put them back together due to a space issue. I don't want to get rid of either of them but don't want babies either. |

Seperare them no? Put one in a rub until you can get a permanent viv. Otherwise you can't really ensure they won't have the sexy time. |
