Posted by: Rapture at Thu Oct 23 17:28:52 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Rapture ] I decided to go ahead and introduce these two snakes together last night. I haven't lowered any basking spots yet but this female's breeding history shows her to produce clutches early in the season. She's gained all her weight back plus a good 500+ grams and had been off feed for the last two weeks so I decided she's about ready for breeding again. The male is an '07 yellow belly and it looks like he will be a promising breeder. Courtship began just minutes after introducing this pair, then a couple of hours later I observed what appeared to be a good lock. Upon closer inspection, I gently pulled their tails apart and discovered there was no actual copulation yet. I am posting all of this just to illustrate that sometimes what looks to be a definite copulation may very well just be hardcore courship on behalf of the male. | ||
