Glad your yt's are breeding, what type of temp conditions are you using to initiate the breeding? Please keep us posted on your progress.
The only direct communication I've have from a sucessful yt breeder is from Chuck Elliot, who did it many times. Chuck said he bred all the subs of Drymarchon (he worked with couperi, erebennus, melanurus, corais and rubidus) in the same manner we know works for easterns. (see Fred and Dougs care sheets)

I plan on giving that a shot, but with some anti-biotics handy watching closely for respiratory problems.

I've watched the weather in the native homeland of the yt's (I tend to watch Georgetown, Guyana) and it seems to rarely dip below upper 60's...so subjecting them to upper 50's at night makes me a little nervous.
