so i had a few questions i figured i would start here until i get into the other bp forums but i was looking for some guidance into breeding some bp. so i bought some adults that are proven breeders and i know the season already started however, i was wondering since my female last laid eggs is September would i be able to start the breeding process now? the breeder that i bought her from always kept the temps the same at 88 however im trying to bring it down a little to set the mood. i dont know if im over thinking it but is it pointless to try and start now? i know some people breed year round but then again its all about the snakes cycle. so i guess my question is if she had eggs in sept when do i start the breeding process? im obviously a beginner to this i just want to make sure that im doing things perfectly for my snakes. i also keep my snakes in tanks rather than racks would this cause issues? what is the ideal temp from what i read it varies alot. any and all help/pointers would be greatly appreciated!!
 
The tanks are fine for the snakes probably better for the more active ones.
Out of curiosity do you keep them together?
 
From what I know she was smaller last year before she breed than what she is now if that makes things any better. And I don't keep them together all the time but since I was trying to start the breeding process now for eggs again in aug/September I put him in for.a few days and remove him. I put the male in today and they locked so I will take hI'm out again when they are done. I just don't want her to be at major risk but I also would.like to get my money back too.
