breeding help . . .

[rufus]

couple of questions . . . first
-do snakes need to be a certain age before the are 'active' so to speak
-how long should new snakes be quarenteed for before introducing them to other snakes
-can future hopeful mating couples be introduced rather early on, or should they only be intruduced just prior to mating season? (i.e. can i introduce juvieniles and hope they will eventually breed?)
-finally, what are the VIC licencing requirments for breeding?

any feedback would be hugly appreciated

Yes snakes do need to be of age and weight to breed, the age and weight is different
between species.
Any new snakes should be quarantined for a bare minumum of 6 months.
Snakes are solitary animals and should only be kept together for mating and then seperated again.
You are able to breed on a normal wildlife licence.
