Previous post a late night error...
I meant to state: ..."I also think it is best to introduce several hours or a day after feeding them when feeding response is minimized."
Also, R.Bruce suggested in a recent published article to have a separate cage for breeding, where niether of the pair has an established territory, and that may make sense. I have only had one agressive event in 10 years of keeping them, but it can happen anytime and you are prudent to be cautious. I did not see it coming...and I know of other similar incidents which were far more serious, one even fatal. Some of these appeared to be "agression", I don't think necessarily the loser was going to be consumed...these were well respected keepers with extensive experience (not all good...).
Good luck with your husbandry of Drymarchon and thanks for sharing. Vic
