How many people here have had their male go into shed during courting? My ghost was put in about 1.5 weeks ago and everything was going good. I haven't seen actual copulation but lots of courting and hooking around the female's tail. Well now he is going into shed and has chilled out on the love making. My question is will he 'miss out' on the female if he is in shed for 10 days? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I read in the Boa Manual that courting will be on and off "unless either boa goes into shed". Apparently that sometimes happens, with either male or female. Might put a little delay on courting, but I'm sure he'll go right back to it after shedding, if he does stop.
