    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I've been breeding Florida (Brooks) Kings for about 15 years now. I've always monitored them when they are together and separate them after I've observed copulation. This method works well, but since Brooks often don't copulate right away like some other Kings do, it can be time consuming to have to keep placing them together and observing them until copulation takes place. I've observed that if they are not interested in breeding they will tend to retreat to different corners of the enclosure and and ignore one another. I've only observed any aggression (one trying to coil the other) between Florida Kings once or twice in the years I've bred them. They don't seem to have the cannabalistic tendencies of some other kings.

That said, I've given some thought to leaving them together until the female becomes gravid. I do this with my Milks and did this with my Mountain Kings when I used to work with them.

Anyone had any experience doing this?

Thanks for any input.

that is exactly what i do. i put the male in with the female and don't take him out except to feed them. i can remember once that the female grabbed and coiled up the male, and it was when i put him in with her. easy fix.

i don't take him out until i know she is gravid and going to lay soon.

i keep them well fed so hunger doesn't play a part. although they would eat daily if i let them.

good luck this season!
