I think i'll go with just letting the female eat as much as she wants... i know they can get full and won't just eat until they explode.

when breeding a few pairs years ago, I always worried about the cannibalism, but never saw it, never even a hint of it with any cal or desert, so this was a bit shocking today.

I looked across the room right after pulling them apart where I have a group of corns basically having a problem free orgy and thought "why cant it always be that easy".

In regards to bonding... i'm one of the few that has drank the kool-aid and think I understand how/why it works, i just havent attempted the process yet. I will one day though, even if its just an experiment with one pair of snakes.

I'll keep placing my male in with this girl every week or so as long as she's downed 2-3 mice in the past couple days. hopefully it'll work out as these are my first pair of locality kings
