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.

help with this years Crotalus breeding
so this year will be my second attemp at breeding my Az. blacktails and first at my sidewinders and banded rocks......all of which come from basically the same region of the US. No babies from the blacks this summer so maybe im doin something wrong. Any tips or advice on what to do? i know i can look up info and i did but usually first hand info from people who actually breed them instead of someone who just wrote an article works better. thanks in advance.

Drop your klaubs to at 46-48F. same with Molossus. Cerastes dont need to be cooled as low as them. low to mid 50's would be fine. keep all the males and females separated. start warming them back up in the beginning of March. feed the females every 5 days. The day the females shed, move them into the males enclosure for 1-2wks. separate and feed. reintroduce females to males enclosure again for 1-2 wks. keep the process going for 2 months or so. Put females back in their enclosures and be sure to provide both UTH and over head heating. If all you have is overhead heading, be sure to keep the females extra warm, and as stress free as possible. should have babies between August and September.
If you need tips on getting the offspring to eat PM me

Dropping temps really seem to help stimulate breeding in NA crotalus species, a friend of mine is going through the same problem, Hes had them copulate and had the females ovulate but never got any of them to produce some nice babies yet (except for his pygmies) Have you tried hibernating them together year round? Many NA species hibernate in dens together maybe this will stimulate breeding?

I know many people who hibernate their animals together and have success, I have had better success keeping them seperate
