I have just asked about some breeding questions, and people have said that it doesn't matter if you don't brumate. I know that not Brumating has more chance of infertile eggs and the female doesn't produce as many eggs, but roughly how much is the difference between not brumating & brumating?
I really can't wait to breed my snakes so I was wondering if I could breed them early, seeing as in captivity they wouldn't know what the season was if the temps were the same all round, Or do they have an inbuilt clock in their bodies? I may just be being thick  So would it be okk if I try them earlier than February, and if they don't breed just then try it later ?
Thanks for Any Help  |

Hi, i have 3corns 2females and a male, and i have them togther all year round with the same temps and i've had no luck. but they can breed great without brumating. November last year i placed mine in brumation and it was a nerve recking time for me, as i was worried they would of snuffed it, but i followed the steps correctly and they awoke this feb all fine and well :) my largest female shed druing brumation in january and she is due to shed again which should mean her post-breeding shed. so hopefully. if yours dont breed this year try brumation ano its along time away but do lots of research, heres a usefull site which i used http://www.vmsherp.com/LCBreedingCorns.htmi used this the most but a lot of others too,even this site. just be carefully as different sites say different thing and contradict each other.just learn as much as you can and find what works best for you and your snakes. Hope you do successfully breed them without brumation :)
1 thing you should think of is the Age, Size and Weight before breeding. I think the ideal requirments are Age3 up, 3ft in size and atleast 300grams in weight for females. males can be abit smaller |

my 'unbrumated' females lay large 20+ clutches each year, all fertile with a good hatch rate :) |
