Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

brumation question
So I am interested in breeding a few milksnakes and kingsnakes. I currently breed leopard geckos, which you don't really need to brumate for them to breed. I live in AZ and it gets pretty hot here and not that cold in the winter. I was wondering what methods any of you used for brumation? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!!

I actually just cool mine down to the 60's at the lowest and keep them dark. Just check their water weekly. I have never really got my kings are milks to cold.

I quit feeding mine and start reducing the amount of daylight and after about 2-3 weeks I move them to a closet so they stay dark until around Feb then I bring them out and start feeding the females about every 3 to 4 days and the males every 5. After the first shed I start introducing them until I see interest and usually the males go off food. I have used a spare room or closet to keep the light down to a minimum. Mine never reach really cold temps though.

Cool. So pretty much just turning the heat off and keeping them in a dark place is enough to get them to start breeding??
