Hi mate i hibernate them for about 3 months.
Althoiugh you dont have to with hoggies.
But i think t makes more successful clutches ie fertile.
Just make sure they are a good size Wink

Hope this helps

I am planning on brumating my pair between December and end of January beginning of February and gonna warm em back up and feed them for about 2 weeks and then bang them together.

First time breeding hoggies so fingers crossed Smile

Hiya Young Gun, think that I will update my p.m.s to you and say to wait for the female to shed after brumation - all the time feeding both snakes as much as they will take ( male may not eat ), and then put them in together. Hope that all goes well for you and the Hoggies

Brumation helps copulation which will fertilise more eggs.

I hibernate my adults from start of December to start of march. I then feed them up to make sure they build up any lost weight and then once the females have shed, I put the males in with the females.

Also I generally leave the males in for 4-5 days then feed them separately and leave them 2 days to digest and start again.

Hope this helps.
