Hi hypnoctopus! Maybe this is a question for a genuine herpetologist (don't know if you ARE one or not, so pls bear with me), but since the OP is in Hong Kong, would that disrupt the Springtime breeding issue. I believe the seasons are reversed only relative to North & South of the equator, as opposed to the Eastern & Western hemispheres, but was just wondering if someone had two corns, a male & a female, in a place where it is Springtime. Would they still breed only from March to July (as I learned the hard way when I cohabbed my snakes that they began to mate with each other, EVEN the males attempted this as they probably went by raging hormones as opposed to gender!).
Just wondering. BTW canicemok, I never brumated my corns, and Lilly double-clutched this past summer, producing 29 eggs, 22 of which successfully hatched into a BLIZZARD of SNOWS, 21 of them and 1 cute amel stripe (unsure, but I believe that was also a type of snow). Just sayin'.
So I concur with hypnoctopus in that brumation is not necessary to get corns in the mood. Mine were hornier than a couple of virgins in a Catholic Junior High School! And just as wild! Maybe brumation is better geared towards snakes living in the wild?
