LOL! That got a rise! (Pardon the pun) Heeheehee!!!
Yes, thinking in human moral terms, or even, perverted thinking, it does sound bizzare. But in true animal husbandry, it's all in a day's work.
I didn't say;
I enjoyed it,
It's the only way to induce breeding,
I do it all the time,
Extract it's hemipenes and satisfy it,
etc...
After having cleaned a horse's sheath on a regular basis, bringing a still-born puppy to life with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, inserting an index finger in the anus of an infant child to remove hardened stool that's causing constipation, and countless other "bizzare" things, slowly & gently caressing a male or female snake's body while it's being soaked, to induce breeding at a desired time or to deal with uncooperative snakes, is a walk through the park.
I've only done it a few times and had good results each time. I've only done it as a last measure or when trying to get them to breed at a time they're not wanting to.
If a person's snake is uncooperative about breeding under natural circumstances, perhaps they should just wait until next season. And if they don't cooperate again, wait until the following season. All the while my snakes could be producing babies.
It can be done for either male or female, or even both.
Evidently, proven breeding techniques used on farms in the old days would shock the britches off of a lot of people in today's so-called "advanced society."
People either want to breed snakes, or they don't. Don't matter none to me. Mine are doing fine.
I do understand the initial shock of my suggestion, though, and I got a kick out of the replies.
Ya'll take care!
