Due to the many sucky aspects of building a new house, I've had to consolidate some of my snakes into fewer cages to make space. I know how dangerous this is, but trust me there is no choice for now. The old house is sold, but the new one isn't going to be finished for about 2 more months. My wife and I have had to move into my Mom's house...who incidently is afraid of snakes... .



I have a pair of DH snows that are about 3.5 ft that were in the same cage. There isn't enough space for yet another cage. The male started trying to breed the female so I moved him into a different cage which contained a female that is about 5.5-6ft. I just noticed that they are locked up as I type this. As much as I would love to have babies, I don't want to hurt the female. She doesn't appear to be ovulating so I don't know if I should take this too serious or what. I don't know the chances of having babies out of this, but it doesn't appear too high. I have another cage that has a 12 year old 8.5 ft female that looks like she would crush the male. Remember he is a skinny 3.5 ft.



Any suggestions on what I should do?



The attached pic is the big female...sorry about the size.
