Last weekend at a reptile expo I managed to get my hands on 7 ensatinas (2 Sierra Nevada and 5 Monterey) and I just started the process of breeding them. I have never bred anything before so I'm really trying to not mess it up, but after a lot of research I think I'm in a good place, just want confirmation/tips. I just started the "cold period" to set them off for egg/sperm production, they are sitting in a constant 43°- 46° spot as of right now and I don't plan warming them up till around March 3rd. Atm I plan on feeding them once a week unless told different
 
I only kept estinas for a few months before I moved them to someone else because I was worried my summer temp is too high. It sounds like the challenge is keeping them from getting too warm in the summer rather than getting them to breed. You can read some here Marc Staniszewski's Ensatina Care Sheet
Wow, thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for
