No, you didn't get any info because you're question(s) was too vague. Ask as specific question, and 9 times out of 10, you'll get the correct/useful answer here at ssnakess. Ask a question like "how do I bred boas?" or "my snake won't eat, why?" or "how do I keep lizards?". LOL! Those are impossible questions to answer without writing a BOOK. As much as people love to share info and talk with other herpers, writing a novel to explain the ins and outs of Rainbow breeding when most of the info is available on the Net is really tough. If you asked, "what dates do you all cycle from?" Or, "do females eat during cycling? Or mating? Or when they are gravid?" etc etc etc. THOSE are pertinent questions that would likely get answered within minutes. Historically on this site, if you ask a vague question, it just goes un answered. People like to help, they just don't like to hold your hand every step of the way.

haha just cant help some people. Snakeeyes I pm'd Jeff some questions I had a few weeks back he answered them quickly and they were very detailed answers. Jeff is very knowledgable and willing to share his knowledge and I really appreciate it. it really is simpy just a matter of a vague quesiton I doubt jeff was trying to be rude or anything.

Exactly Darren. I wasn't trying to be rude at all. Its all a matter of helping people that want to help themselves. If you're not at the level where you can start to ask specific questions about the breeding process, then you probably shouldn't be breeding the snakes. But that's just my opinion. No harm intended. But ALL the answers to breed them are already out there. Ad naseum in fact.

When do people start cooling brbs?
How long do people cool them for?
How cool do people cool them to?
Do they stop eating, if so when?
When do you pair them up, Dec, Jan, Feb, etc?
Do you put the male in the females cage or vice versa?
When do they copulate, night or day?
What does it look like?
How long should they be kept together?
When should you try to feed again if they stop?
How long is gestation?
Can the female become bound?
I think that is all the questions I can think of right now?
Cheers,
Trevor

Lots of people do that at lots of different times. I have no idea when everyone starts cooling. I don't cool mine, so I can't answer that. But I do start cycling on Dec. 1st. Sometimes Nov. 15th if I'm antsy.

Beats me. Maybe as long as their colubrids?

|

|
Great question. I hope not too cool. They are tropical boas.
Quote:
|
Do they stop eating, if so when?
|
My males stop 2 weeks before I cycle. Or at least I tell them to stop. My females stop feeding when they are gravid (May-June).
Quote:
|
When do you pair them up, Dec, Jan, Feb, etc?
|
Usually I try my first pairing a MINIMUM of 4 weeks after the first day of cycling. But sometimes I forget and its 6 or 7 weeks. No rush. A good cycling period seems to help.
Quote:
|
Do you put the male in the females cage or vice versa?
|
It doesn't matter which way you do it, but I move the males around. I have 6 males and 12 females. I like LESS work. Why move 12 snakes when I can move 6?
Quote:
|
When do they copulate, night or day?
|
24 hours a day.
Kinda gross.
Quote:
|
How long should they be kept together?
|
Until they stop.
Quote:
|
When should you try to feed again if they stop?
|
5 minutes after. 10 minutes after. 10 days after. Whatever. Its a judgement call based on how heavy the female is. Sometimes I don't bother if she's fat enough. Sometimes I'll feed a female 10+ times during the cycling period. No set formula. Formulas suck for snake breeding.
4 months.

Can the female become bound?
|
Bound with what? Maybe slugs. I doubt with live babies though.

I don't know, I can't read your mind.
