My understanding is that you can breed snakes out of the normal breeding season. This can be done by simulating the changes in temperature and humidity to mimic the changes in seasons. In some cases, the snakes need to be stimulated to brummate to achieve the desired affect. The big issue with this though, is that it greatly affects the longevity of your snakes life as you are affecting it's biorhythmic cycles. Apart from that, if you go through with the attempt to breed, the snakes (especially the females) must also be in an excellent condition, and must have enough appropriate "fat" for the appropriate energy reserves, enough reserve body minerals (i.e. calcium) or otherwise you can kill your snake before it comes to term. Furthermore, I'd be giving my snakes a good 2 years minimum and returning them to their normal "biorhythmic" cycle slowly before I even plan on breeding them again.
Hope this helps. JMO though.
Good Luck.

I just thought this was a interesting read and wondered if the american's had just gone crazy again lol (nothing agaist american's there lovely people), or it was true.
