Is it to late?

If you just got him you need to quarantine to make sure he did not bring in any illnesses. I would wait and breed next year rather than risk the health of my female.
 
*facepalm* You're co-habbing them... aren't you? Don't do it, ever. And breeding a pair you just got (or just one snake) is showing a lack of common sense. You need to quarantine and let the new snake settle and get used to you and its new home.

It probably is not too late to breed, but I don't recommend it from what I'm hearing.
 
It's a little late in the year to breed... they might, but spring is when their "make a baby" buttons get pushed. You can try if you really want to, I guess.
 
Did your brother and his snake live with you? You can't be too safe with the health of your animals. Reguardless of whom I got a pet from I would quarantine for 30 days AND get a health check at my vet before even thinking of breeding. You need to be sure the snake did not have stress of a move cause an illness to activate. Some do that, lay dormant until the animal is stressed then they strike. That is why Quarantining is such a big deal. Now if the animal has lived in the same house but your brother gave over ownership to you then a quarantine is unnecessary. The cohabbing comment was uncalled for, nothing you said led me to believe they were already in the same cage. I think you handled it well too ;) Anyway, if the snake did not have to move from one home to another, just like from one room to another then sure, you can try, just make absolutely sure the female is at least 3 years, 3 feet and 300 grams.
 
Thanks for the info carnivorouszoo i appreciate it. I'll give him some time and then him checked out by a vet, since my bro and i don't live in the same house. is there someplace i can find a year schedule(for lack of better words) on what i should be doing at what time (examples: cooling, and breeding seasons)
 
I don't brumate (cooling period) and had no issues with a pair breeding in April. Wasn't planned but they had no problems at all! LOL, I do hope you know we aren't trying to be mean, its just not really in the best interest of the snakes to breed right after coming to a new home without knowing they are totally healthy. And that is not a hack on your brother either. The male could have been ill without him knowing it. It happens. So I play it better safe than sorry. We just don't want you to go ahead and later post that something sad happened. We're here for you, not to be against you.

As to good info on brumating and such Kathy Love's book has a bit of good info in it, there is another book by a guy that goes into depth about breeding corns but I have not read it and can not think of the title at the moment. I am sure someone can help :)
 
dont forget to play the right music, i forget who the recommended artist is, but i hear when he is played there is a 100% hook up rate, i guess it really sets the mood (i think it was barry somebody, white? manilow? sanders?)

someone help us out
