I have bred them for the last three years. Mine are CB the wild caught never did anything but die on me. they copulate like regular rat snakes but the difficulty comes in with incubation. The eggs incubate at about 80 degrees for 90 days. a higher temp and they won't hatch out. my clutch sizes were from 4-6, my female is much bigger now and this year I hope she will lay more. The next difficulty is getting the hatchlings to feed. cupping brained pinkys has worked very well for me but I expect to loose a third of the hatchlings because they just won't eat.
I hope this is helpful.
