I don't know. I've read there's a lot of pheremones produced by a new shed.
I've also read here recently both that females will and that males will smear urates all over the cage when placed together.
I know my snakes always do it, but don't know which one - male or female, or both that do it.
Don't have any information as to whether this encourages successful copulation or discourages copulation. Believe I've heard both opinions here.
I too, would like to know.
