Breeding ~ 101

[chaotic]

Okay. I have read almost every book out there on snakes and boas. I've been a member of numerous forums for quite some time now (not this forum) and I would love to hear what everyone goes through to get their boas (RTB's) to breed.

Do you put them through brumation (cooling), do you decrease the light cycle? If you cool, what temps? When you warm them up how long/gradule is the increase? What temps do you keep gravid females? Do you put the female into males cage or vise versa? Does anyone keep their snakes in one large enclosure and get them to mate successfully? I know this is typically frowned on, but maybe someone has had good experiences.

I'm almost taking a poll on what everyone does. I have read back to the begining of this forum sorted by popularity and did not find a topic like this, so I thought this would be a good place to pool everyone's thoughts together. Hence the title. Let's go back to "school" and teach everyone right.

There are no "right" or "wrong" answers here. So stay on topic and lets get some personal experiences on this forum that will be of use to us all. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

Mods: Please don't move this to the breeding board as this is more specified towards boas.
