I'm off to the vet tommorrow to have some of my snakes sexed, notably a young coastal. If it turns out to be a male I will purchase this good looking female that I have been offered (might be good looking but boy, is she cranky). If I purchase this girl I will then start cooling the male
The question is thus : Is it to late to start cooling now in order to have the pitter-patter of little feet (metaphoricly speaking, of course) or have I missed the boat? |

No, it's not too early, but how old and big is your coastal, you said it was young?

Depending on whether it is a male or female that you have would also be a factor, when you get your one sexed, if it is a male and you can get a larger female, then I would certainly give it a go.

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-03 Location: Townsville Age: 37 | | | | i have bred carpets from 27 mths on many occasions under 5 foot.as cooling is connected to sperm production it is not totally necessary.i have and know of whole collections whereby no cooling was carried out and all animals kept feeding right through the cooling period with above average results.interestingly i have 23 jungles in a temp controled room no cooler than 27 degrees but have not managed to fool 3 males who despite the temp have still shutdown.
so fuscus don't be to worried about a lengthy cooling for your male
or any at all when the time comes results are quite feasible.go for it buddie.

Looking at the heading I thought for sure you would have said something about refrigerating small Mothers.
