that really depends on how their environment is maniuplated.
most often the snakes (and this can be true for many taxa) will require some type of environmental stimuli, whether it be temperature, humidty, photoperiod, or a combination of a few or all.
BUT..... snakes done always require cycling to be ready for breeding.
I have known of keepers (myself included) that do very little to prepare for breeding season.
Basically all I do is increase their food intake in the late summer and early fall, and year round I only provide DAYTIME heat to all my cages.
So in the winter months, I let my cages/snake room get down to whatever temps the outside area will dictate (since I use no external heat for the room, but I do use AC in the summer)
It apparently works well, I have bred nearly 20 types of snake, and produced almost 450 offspring this way (but that is mainly colubrids)
(had to go back and double check those numbers)
