2007

Here are my planned pairings for the 2007 breeding season. There are 16 potential pairings for the season!!

All brumated snakes were fed their last meal on 9/29/06 (1 week earlier than 2006 season). Heat was turned off on 10/13 to room temperature, and they were placed in cooling (outside wall) cupboards on 10/20. Temps were maintained from a low of 48 °F to a high of 55°F, some males got down to 44°F and came through fine. Brumated snakes are being brought back to room temperature, 64-70°F, as of 12/15, and their heat will be turned on to 80°F on 12/22. Their first meal is scheduled for the week of Friday, December 29th. I may feed any day from Tuesday through Friday.
