Sanzinia madagascariensis

[sortsind]

I've got 1.2 Sanzinia madagascariensis, and i would like to breed them.
They are all about 6 years old, and should be more than mature.
But i just don't know how to go about it.

All the websites i could find, all say that a night time drop of 5-10 degrees from september through december, and then introduction in January.

I've cooled them as per the above mentioned plan, but how should I introduce them. And what do i do next ? (They're still cooled ...)

You take the male... stick him in with the female, and let the night drop happen while they are together for a couple more weeks....

Gradually let the low temperature come up in this time... say half a degree a night.

You should witness courting and/or copulation on the temperature upswings: eg... in the mid to late morning as the temps start to climb.

Keep a close eye on them as you introduce them to make sure that nobody gets any bad ideas, but yeah.... then you wait. :) Once you think your female is gravid, up the temperatures overall by about 3-5 degrees. I think this helps live-bearers keep their developing neonates happy.

Incidentally, if you get babies, keep this good advice in mind as I want some. ;)

Also Also... If Kevin or Kara comes on here and says I am wrong, then they are probably correct... I have never actually worked with this species, but what I just gave is kindof a generic "Works for most snakes" scenerio.

do as donnie said, and slighty raide your temps up, i am raising mine up on my blood pythons as we speak...

i would take the male and put him with one female for 3 days, then the other female for 3 days, then back to the original for three days, then back and forth every three days....

i also want a pair of these...so remember it was my advice and not his!!!:icongrin:
