Ok a couple of years a go I had the SAME exact thing happen to me except my male was decent size about 5 foot or so. My female was around 7 feet. I had them in one of those sliding cage systems youve seen them. Well I was feeding everything around them and bam ! I heard this knocking around. I look in and both boas have their mouths around the others. At first I thought it was the big female trying to attack the little male. I took the ball of snakes out after tryihng to seperate them and placed them under water which didnt work. Then I tried the old alcohol trick which didnt work either. I think it took me 30 minutes to get them apart all the while Im tugging the huge female. And I realize its the male thats wrapping her. So I start trying to untangle him. As I was pulling the heads apart you could hear popping noises from the jaw and niether would let go. It was a pretty bad experience and I didnt even feed them lol. Just everything around them. But that wasnt the worst mishap Ive ever had breeding this was........





Female papuan python ate the male I had for about 10 years. Funny I bought him back in the day when papuans were $3500 each! Ouch! Any how What can you do right? Im guessing something triggered her feeding response and she ate him. They were both about the same size as well. The female may have been a little bigger but not too much. Anyhow wierd stuff happens when you breed snakes for any length of time. But Good stuff happens as well!...............
