I am looking for a little advice -

I have a 13.5ft female green - she is approximately 5 years old, I also have a 9ft male who is 7 years old.

I currently house the animals separately but would like to introduce them to one another with a view to them breeding.

Both are great eaters although I expect the male to go off food within in the next 4 weeks - which he has done for the past 3 years - not beginning to feed again until march.

Is now a suitable time to introduce them? How should I prepare the animals - do I need to feed the female ? shall I introduce the male to the female, or vice versa? the female is a little territorial - I did briefly house the two together earlier this year.

I also have another male that is 3 years old and approximately 6ft long - should I introduce him at the same time?

thanks

carl
