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?
Hi. I'm familiar with breeding cornsnakes, and how they can go with or without brumation. I have a 9 year old female Cal King I'd like to breed for the first time this coming spring, and wanted to find out if it's useful or necessary to brumate. I've read the section in "Kingsnakes and milksnakes" but I've also heard brumation being mentioned for corns as if it's necessary.
BTW, Here's a pic of Spot. She's an absolute sweetheart, nicer than many of my corns.
TIA

I think one reason that some Corns are able to regularly produce, even without brumation is that they have a natural range in areas like Florida, where it doesn't get cold enough to do a full brumation. I would definitely brumate your King, even if there is a chance that she would produce without it, it's probably good to get her down for a while, so it will prepare her body to get ready this spring.

I've actually been wondering this myself, as I've had some of my kings down for a while, whilst others haven't been brumated thus far. I did finally get them all into the garage (took a garage sale to get the necessary room) but they will have a short brumation compared to my normal brumation period. I think the idea that they are from Florida has some weight, though I'm sure it does get cool there too, doesn't it? I'm in another of the "sunny states" and it's been below freezing lately at least during the night. (here in AZ)
btw, Spot is quite lovely!
