Corn Snake Breeding

[dan2492]

I Think im gonna try mateing my corn snakes this spring i was jsut wondering. When do they usually start getting into the mateing mood? I did not Cool them. Are there any sighs you can look for or do you just have to introduce the and see??
Well Thanks
Dan

Anyone have any ideas??

[Joe]

at this point if they are of right size and age I would say Introduce them and hope for the best, alot of breeders don't give there corns a cooling off period,

[dan2492]

ok thatnks

[Bighead]

What, exactly, is th right size and age? Just out of curiosity.

I have some corns im tring to breed too this is my first time i would also like to knew some info plz i have 2 large males who seem to be a little gay they have been chasing each other around the cage and tring to mate so i added the female in the cage with them but they still seem to ignore her

[Auskan]

Why do you have two males in together?

[sapphire_moon]

why do you house 2 of any snakes together? If they are chasing each other around they are probably fighting!

[Burmlova1088]

lol no they were not fighting and i had them together cause last year my female laid some eggs but they dried out cause i didnt know about them so i was told to keep her away from the males for a year she was also way to small to be laying eggs the eggs were like twice her size i dont know how she did it

[Joe]

if the eggs were twice her size, maybe one of your males laid them? :)

[Burmlova1088]

o im soooo sure

[Joe]

Lots of herpers have had animals that they once thought were male then turned out to be female,

[Burmlova1088]

i have had these 2 males probed twice just to make sure

[C.m.pyrrhus]

Who probed? Could still be wrong....I have a feeling you have a pair trying to mate now by the sound of things. Not many snakes "act" gay, but who knows eh, your just could be as well.

[Burmlova1088]

i live right by an exotic pet store they said the males will probley just to that because they are lonely and ready to mate so thats y i put the female in there but they still ignore her and they just still keep actign gay they slithered around the cage all day rapped together they wont separate ill see if i can get a pic of it tonight

[Joe]

I will take your word for it Burm, but just so you know I have had snakes bought from a pet store, I just took the guys word for it that it was a male.. then I grow it up and probe it a few years later when it doesnt breed for me and sure enough I had a pair of females!
