Male isn't in the Best condition , Previous Owner , in my opinion , shouldn't even be owning a corn snake !!
But nothing I can do about it. Feel free to comment on my collection so far ! :-P

Yes we are. I've started cooling them , most people differ with the cooling period. I'm just doing it to be safe , so I hope they breed! The male retic looks like a Bali yellow head if I've got my story straight. He use to be a light grey with bright yellow body colour and this bright yellow head , before the previous owner got hold of him. His belly and throat is also yellow. Not sure if pure localities exist in the pet trade.

Cooling retics? This is not going to end well for you. They breed in a season and you cannot try and fool them unless they never get to see light. They know when the days are short and when they are long. I know of eggs that were laid two weeks ago already. Retics finished mating about two months ago.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

Thanks BV.
But there is an on going debate whether retics can be bred all year round ?
And this is my first year attempting to breed big pythons , My snake room is completely isolated from the out side world . If all lights are switched off its totally dark . If you can supply me with all the info I need to be able to breed them , from your experience please do , because apparently the internet is useless .
