I have a male a female pair of desert horned vipers. Both are now of breeding age. Just wondering if anyone could give me advice on breeding them. Does the male and female both have to hibernate or just the male. Could I assume that they breed in the spring like rattle snakes or the fall like most arboreal vipers do.
How long does it take for the female to develop her eggs. Any advice would be most appreciated.
Thanks eyelashvp9

Someting I found online"In captivity, mating was observed in April and always occurred while the animals were buried in the sand.[2] This species is oviparous, laying 8-23 eggs that hatch after 50 to 80 days of incubation. The eggs are laid under rocks and in abandoned rodent burrows. The hatchlings measure 12-15 cm in length.[3]"
It was on wikipedia
