Dave,
...Small males can get the job done. Oftentimes better than the bigger males. There are some that do seem to be intimidated by other snakes. When I see that I just move one or more to other cages and see if the intimidated snake does better with other potential mates. On a longterm basis I watch snakes closely and do not leave them togather in the same cage if I do not see them at least occasionally in the same hide together like they are okay with each other's company. If they tell me they are unhappy I do something about it. The ones that seem never to be comfortable with other snakes are kept singly.

>>i know it sounds simple, and im pretty sure my setup is the same, but i would love to see a picture of your baby setup. Pictures tell a thousand words.
>>Also in relation to a question about the breeding size in last post (sorry on phone, to hard to switch back and forth) do you see a marked difference in the litter size and weights of the young, when breeding 1500gram females?
>>Also on that topic, i have a male in with a female at the moment, he is probably 1800grams, 4yrs, she is about 3600g and seems to intimated him. With ball pythons, massive females to tiny males seems to work. Any comments on brbs in the same situation? He is certainly big enough, and mature enough, but does look like a midget compared to her.
>>Cheers
