An Idea

[crzy_kevo]

ya sorry should have been clearer i meant say in summer there is no way to tell right?

[infernalis]

Right...

They are either already gravid, immature for breeding, or just so butt ugly that all the garter beer at the saloon will not even make em pretty

lol wayne alright well it sounds like an interesting project for the spring

[crzy_kevo]

so does anyone else think this might actually work or have any better suggestions?

I'd try it. (shrugs shoulders) Like you said you'd have to use a female it wouldn't break your heart to lose and to me that would be any female I owned.

You'd have to do a reverse trap, like on minnow traps, where they can get in and not out. Not so much for the boys that will delireous with delight, but your female.

I also think you'd have to camaflauge it REALLY WELL so the butt-wipes in the world don't find it, tear it apart and hurt your snakey. You know? I'd also shoot for a weekend end when I wasn't in school - oh. You work. That's rite. - when I wasn't at work so I could camp out and/or check on it every couple o'hours to make sure the butt-wipes hadn't found it.

Kevie, do you think Einstien and DaVinci asked folks, "Does anyone think this would work or have any better suggestions?"

Try it. All you're out will be time invested and a few bucks to make the cage.

generally they breed in the spring....they don't attract males after that....you can try, but these snakes make Houdini look like an amateur!!

ya well i think i might try it next spring i know a few places i might be able to put it that should be safe
i actually have a friend that lives next to one of my hunting area's (the area i found checkers in) and i could problably just leave it in her back yard for a day or so

I think the chance of losing your female is higher then gathering males.. I would be a bit interested in hearing the outcome though

I agree....best thing to do if yoiu want a male is just go out and start hunting until you find one....which can be a lot of fun!!!
