Hi All,
I was cleaning cages today and noticed that in both my females cages there was quite a bit of blood. They both had been with males for the last few days. I noticce this a little bit lasy year but this year there was quite a bit. Have any of you all seen this before. Any insight or info would be appreciated. I'm sure that the blood is from the males.

thanks,
theboaguy

I've seen cages that looked like crime scenes.....

all should be ok.........

you think????

Good Post

I have seen this on occation's over the years, but only with certain females.

remember the male has 2 hemipenes just incase this sort of thing happens.

I have had female's drag a male round with his hemipene still incerted.

keep a close eye on your snakes to identify where the blood is from just to make sure there are no other problems.

if its a hookup thing then you havent really got a problem.

I have seen the females drag the males around as well, but only in my kings. Of course the male had been going at it for over 3 hours and I assumed the female figured she had sat still enough!
