How do most of you keep your racks?
Do you keep males and females in close proximity to eachother in the racks?
Do you notice any affects on the males when a female is showing signs of building?
Do you notice changes in feeding in other maless when one male is wanting to breed?

How far away do you all think a cage should be in order for one snake's hormones to not affect the other's?

I'm only asking, because it seems to me that about 50 or so days ago, most of my snakes were going "haywire" IMO. Some were ravenous, and some wouldn't stop cruising, and some stopped feeding. Now they all seem to be back to normal.
Interestingly, my male angolan, who was the most crazy active one, calmed down after locking up with my female angolan. He was a hissing pisser when I took him to her cage, and then he was as placid as could be when I took him out a couple days later, lol.
not trying to be off topic, bc my bps were acting up too. I have most in separate cages, and some in racks. But they are all in the same room, and I wonder what they could be picking up from eachother scent-wise.
