I’ve heard of people keeping them together year-round, but I’ve also heard of females eating males. They’re not averse to consuming reptiles, and there’s a pretty good size difference, so the danger is certainly there. Not sure how long they should be together for breeding though.

Females are always going to be larger than males so your strategy probably won’t work. If you want to breed you definitely need to do your research. The snakes should not be left together year round. You will get a better breeding response if you keep them seperate and intruduce the male after a cool down period. Besides breeding response, snakes should be kept seperate so that as a owner, you have more control over the possible spread of parasites such as mites, husbandry, and can monitor the feces of each animal. If you are serious about breeding and are going to attend a show, I would talk to the breeders there to get a better idea of what you are in for.

Okay that is what I was planning. I would only do maybe one cycle of breeding. I am not looking to be a distributor or anything like that.
