I've been reading about the site, and I can't help but get the impression that some snakes can't breed... what ones CAN? |

Oh, I wasn't questioning the validity of her question, I was just struggling to understand what she meant :P |

are you referring to the rule of 3's.. 3foot 300gs 3years old? If you are then its not implying that female snakes under those guidelines can't breed it's just that if they are at least those measurements, they tend to do better with carrying the eggs and laying them as they are bigger in size and also have the adequate amounts of body fat to use up when they can no longer chow down on a mouse.. 
hope this helps |

Corn snakes, I meant...
I was just wondering, as I've read snippets here and there that suggest that some corn snakes can't breed :)

Wait what? Snakes as in, different species, or snakes as in, different corn snakes? All snakes can breed, how else would they still be around otherwise? You may get the odd infertile one, but that's as with any living thing on this planet.
Some species may be hard/impossible to breed in captivity, but corns are one of the easiest to breed in captivity. |
