: : You all are very aware of how I feel about cross breeding localities and I am not going to get off on that too much.I will say one more time, as I have said before that: " the rationalization of ignorance on the locality of an animal for cross breeding is just that. There is no excuse and wait a minute; I want to make one thing clear, one more time. I am not nor do I think that I am GOD. I do not believe that everything that I say is written in stone nor do I think everyone should agree with me! I come across strong, because the things I DO believe in, I believe in STRONGLY." Now to the point. I have seen through my experiance and alot of experiance from other herp friends that I know are true quality breeders and produce true red tails consistently that there are a few methods to breeding these: surinams,peruvians,guyanas and brazillians, that seem to work the majority of the time. I want to make CLEAR that these are only suggestions that have been put to use and have worked; we have not even touched the tip of the iceburg! Once again: " You cannot breed true reds " cosistently " using the same techniques as breeding columbians. " You will always find someone who will produce a litter using the same principles, but it is the EXCEPTION and not the RULE. If anyone questions this, than tell me were all the captive red tail babies are and then show me all the adults that should be producing!? Now, since I am not writing a book, here are your " suggestions. " Give your redtails a humidity cycle all year around. ( Humidity is VERY important ) Around January, dry them out and give them an overall temp of about 79-80 degrees. ( The temperature, believe it or not; does not have to be that cool ) Around the end of february to the first of march, introduce your males. ( Multiple males is singaly the most important aspect to breeding true reds ) Then bring your humidity back up and temp back to normal and kick back and watch: " a whole lotta shackin going on!!! " Ambient temp- 83-85 dgrs. Humidity-90% during the day and 60-70% during the night. Remember that the key to health is " CHOISES " I have it set up that my boas have about 5 temp gradients to choose from at all times. I am not writing a book, so that is it for now and I truly hope that this helps and you guys produce reds GALORE and leave these cross bred, human creative, pieces of crap alone........Johnson
