Question???

I have a 5 yr old male corn and just got my son a 3 yr old female corn yesterday (definately not planning on breeding). We had both snakes out earlier (their tanks are in the same room) and they were on opposite sides of the room - no interaction. After putting them back in their own tanks, our male seems a little stressed (was completely calm while being held - he loves it). Could he be sensing the female? My oldest son was holding the female and helped my youngest son put the male back in his tank. He's not due to feed for 2 more days so not sure. It just looks figity, not sure what he wants to do, going back and forth in his tank. He's finally calming down now but was acting like this for about an hour.
 
Doesn't a female need to brumate to start the breeding cycle? I don't know how the breeding thing works though... so don't quote me...
 
No, brumation isn't necessary for breeding. I've done it for years without.
 
ok, if i remember correctly, someone mentioned that "if you buy it now, you can brumate her so she is ready for breeding next season"

So i just figured you had to brumate to breed
 
It's a common misconception. A lot of breeders do brumate, as this gives better control of when the snakes mate and when eggs are laid - makes running a larger breeding operation more predictable. It's also said to improve fertility.

However, brumation is optional for breeding rather than necessary.
 
We have moved our female "Savita" upstairs away from "Larry" and he finally started to calm down. Thinks that maybe he could smell her and got aggitated. Hope that's all it was.
