Ok here's the deal.

I think I introduced 2 of my females to my male way to early. I hibernated them for 12 weeks, at 54-56 avg. I woke them up, I fed them, and I waited and waited for them to shed. (I was impatient) I introduced two of my females to my male, he showed interest, they did not, I can't recall how long I left them together.

About 2 weeks ago, one of my females shed, so I introduced her to the male, and he had no reaction, left them together for 2 days, and nothing. So I introduced her to another male, and he tired, but she didn't let him, so I moved her back, and the next morning, I went to check on everyone, and she laid 13 infertile eggs.

Then my 2nd female shed, so I introduced her to the male, and nothing, introduced her to the other male, and he tried, but she wouldn't. Now she is laying infertiles.

My third female shed, doesn't look gravid, and will not breed, I never introduced her to the males before sheding.

Did they ovulate because I introduced them to early, and they didn't get a chance to breed?

Should I just feed them 2-3 times a week small meals, let them gain some weight back. (One lost some weight other didn't hardly lose any) and introduce them again? Should I wait for a shed?

Any help would be great, Hogs are much different than Kingsnakes, or Pinesnakes.




Thanks,
Chad
