1985 ROEC 1.3.0 born on August 17th after a 223-230 day gestation
period. All three adults 2.1.0 were wild caught as adults in
1973. Each snake was hibernated separately between 29 Nov. and

female was dropped to 15 - 15.6 degrees C. lower than in previous

and both males were introduced into the female enclosure.
Elaborate courtship and successful copulation by both males
were observed daily in the early morning between 28 Dec and
3 Jan 85. The female began fasting during the last week of
Jan and continued until after parturition. The four (1.3)
offspring are thick-bodied and healthy, feeding on adult mice.
Two infertile ova were also passed. At birth the neonates were
61-71 cm. long and weighed 226-380 grams.

1986 NATW 0.1.27 born during 1986.
1986 PPKT 0.0.10 born during 1986. Copulation was observed on Oct 2,
5, 11, and 13, 1986. Copulation took place in the evening after
the cage had been cooled. Copulation lasted anywhere from 2 1/2
to 6 hrs. The female was manipulated to and from the males cage
every 3 to 4 days, or whenever the male stopped showing interest
in the female.
The environment during the mating season was kept at approx.
30 degrees C. during the day, and allowed to cool to 22 degrees
C. at night. The animals were misted for about 3 minutes before
the lights went out. The misting along with the cooling
temperature at night seemed to stimulate the breeding behavior.
Female continued to feed until the middle of December 1986,
when she refused her first meal. She was offered food on a week-
ly basis until the end of January when she went into what was to
be her last shed before giving birth. At this time signs of
pregnancy were obvious. Mid abdominal swelling was the most
obvious. At this time the female was set up to better thermo-
regulate. Cage temperature went from a hot spot of about 34
degrees C. to a cooler zone of about 24 degrees C. She prefered
to stay at a mean of about 31 degrees C. for the next 5 months,
(May 18th) when she had become more restless. At this time she
was noted to be staying more towards the cooler end of the scale
(approx 26 degrees C.).
On the morning June 21st at 9:15 AM the female was observed
giving birth to 10 live young and 2 infertile egg masses. The
young were perfectly formed. Birthing lasted until 10:35 AM. Of
the 10 young 5 were orange and 5 were green.

1987 PPJLh 0.0.12 hatched during 1987. Animals began mating Feb 24th,
remaining in copulation up to 2 hours several times a day.
Mating activity ceased May 8th even though the eggs had
begun to develop by the 11th. The female's abdomen was well
distended April 11th. Female remained coiled from May 8th to
May 13th, then became restless until laying 38 eggs June 18th.

cluster until bluish translucent areas began to develop. This
condition killed 24 eggs. 14 continued to develop until hatch-
ing Aug 16th. Results were 12 juveniles @ 20-22 inches, with 2
larger eggs opened Aug 19th containing well-formed dead young.

1986 PPPD Breeding not completely successful during 1986. Conditions:
Terrarium 200x75x90cm, heating by IR lamps and fluorescent
lighting, 100W. Climatic conditions and annual cycle: three
seasons. -dry, cold season from December 1st to Jan 31st.
Humidity, 50-55%. Temperature: day 20-22 degrees C. night 18-20
degrees C. Lighting intensity reduced by 2/3. -dry, warm
season from begining Feb to May 1st. Humidity 50-60%.
Temperature: day 26-30 degrees C with an area 35 degrees C.
night 22-26 degrees C. The temperature is rapidly increased at
the beginning of Feb. -wet, warm season from the beginning of
May to the end of Nov divided in two parts: from May 1st to the
end of August humidity 85-95%, with lighting intensity reduced
by 2/3.; from the begining of Oct to the end of Nov humidity
65-75%. Temperature day: 25-30 degrees C. with an area at 32
degrees C. nights 22-25 degrees C. for both parts of the wet
season. Copulation: only one female, kept since November 1978
mated. It was the first mating for this female in captivity,

the first time that I used the cycle described above. Copulation
was observed from Dec 4, 1985 and Jan 2, 1986 every two or three
days. Egg laying April 22nd, 5 eggs. None hatched due to a
problem with incubator. All eggs were fertile.

a hot spot at 33-35 degrees C. Night temperature 24-26 degrees
C. Humidity elevated to 80-90%. Lighting intensity reduced by
one third from May to Aug. Temperature and humidity slowly
