this is the 2nd female this guy has breed in the past week. I hope this means I will have two female Dorbignyi laying eggs at about the same time. to cool...

ps sorry about the messy cage but they seem to do better if i put them together just before cleaning day.

Congratulations! It's funny how much smaller he is than the female. Would you say those are pretty typical adult sizes?

I suppose that’s about the normal size difference, he doesn’t seem to be getting any bigger and he is the only male I have so I cant compare him to any other males. Thanks.

Being that these snakes are so scent-driven for life behaviors, it makes sense that a cage that hasn't been cleaned is part of the equation for encouraging breeding.

I've heard one fellow state that he keeps the female's cages a bit on the dirty side during breeding season for that reason.
