The western spotted skunk reproduces in the fall but undergoes a prolonged implantation cycle that lasts about 150 days.

The Western Spotted Skunk's unique black and white pattern of spots and stripes and its small size make them different from regular stripped skunks.

Females come into heat around in September and breeding begins.

At around 4 or 5 months of age, young females become sexually mature and the cycle starts again.
