Paul,

...Great PIC. I like that cage. My males are kept together two to a cage most of the year. Around the first time the temperature drops a couple degrees in early november they start shoving each other around. I have never had one injured during these shoving matches but I suppose there is the potential for it to happen. I think this male to male interaction gets them more excited so that they are more ready to breed after they have been cooled for several weeks and put in with the females.

Jeff



>>Dave,

>>I was looking over my notes and have only witnessed breeding activity twice. The first litter I never witnessed any activity at all. The first time I saw activity was immediatly after introducing the two younger snakes into the enclosure with the parents and the big male was all over his mate for 5 days. This was in March and that activity did not produce a litter that year and the next year she threw slugs (no witnessed breeding that year). They started breeding in October 2005 and went at it for two weeks (this was spurred on by a weather front that moved through). She had a litter of 14 in May of 2006.

>>This year has seen all kinds of activity with the two males jostling about last week (nothing violent to me, just moving over each other and positioning). Saturday night I may have seen some tail lock with the younger male and the older female (his mom) but could'nt be sure; this lasted only for one night. Both males have been off feed. Always interesting.

>>Here's a crappy pic of the males 'playing' the other night.
