When I put him in he just shows no interest. I also used a yearling male and he showed no interest either. I will look for pics. The males are not fat at all. The snakes don't really pay any attention to one another. This is the first year I have used the male. This year I have been feeding him a small to medium rat every 2 or 3 weeks. The female is stout. She is about 7'. Last year the male I used was a large male hypo. He stopped eating around October. He started courting immediately with another hypo female and I took him out right away and placed him with my albino female. He was'nt as eager as with the hypo female but he did court and breed. Maybe I'll just keep trying to breed them. Perhaps moving him in and out more often or misting will work. I really would like to hold the yearling male back another year although he is not much smaller than the 2 year old.

Thanks,
Dan
