DANGER was associated with that situation. Not one was interested in sticking around long enough to investigate. This tells me that their natural first instinct is to flea!



Yep! That is what they do when they are not bonded.



That is why it is for better for hobbiests to bond their snakes. Espcially if you are going to have them breed.



During breeding season i always read how eith the keeper keeps taking the male out of the cage and waiting for a time when one does not go crazy trying to flee. This is also a good way to miss the window for breeding.



Some oy snakes breed right out of brumation. Even before they eat and fatten up. What does that tell us? Because what most of us do is feed feed feed the females and then "we" think they should be ready to breed. The thing is females ovuilate during all different times. That is when a male will copulate.



With bondid pairs or groups. You can get more clcutches and it also eleviates snakes from getting fat (another debatable topic on here), but I feed my snakes all they can eat becau ethey are busy breeding and getting more excrsise than ones kept in a cage tyear round by themselves.



The only time i remove snakes and place them by themseleves is when a females is about to lay. Then they go right back into the group.
