Bull Snake breeding Help

pboyle69 Mar 26, 2006 08:37 AM

I own an adult pair of bull snakes in which the male seems to have lost the desire to breed. When I took him out of cooling he was all ready to go, but the female wasn't. Then the female started her post-ovulation shed and about 5 days into it, he started his own shed. When the female finished her shed i put her in his cage and nothing, she was obviously interested but he was not. I then waited until he finished his shed and again nothing. She is now obviously ready to go but he seems to have lost it? Any tips ideas suggestions?

Only thing I can think at this point is to add some male competetion.

I've heard of some breeders anticipating this and bringing their females out a bit earlier than males.

Hope this helps
