you don't.
long answer:
you can take an educated guess, breeding season starts around early spring going right into summer so you can put a pair together and see if they mate. If they don't, then one (or both) aren't yet ready so try again in a few weeks time.
A good indicator is when the female starts ovulating and you might be able to feel or see small bumps down her back third.
I personally start pairing after the females second shed of the year (February/March-ish) and go from there, although my lot never seem interested until fairly late in the season. |

Posted - 08/07/2011 : 00:02:45 The best time to breed them is after the female's first shed after brumation. I remember reading something about certain pheromones being present in the shed skin :). I know it worked like a charm for my snakes - as soon as Saphira shed, Jake started chasing her around like mad! |
