My only copulation success thus far has been the male MBK I sent to a friend in Oregon. On Saturday, copulation took place with her female.
Neither of my breedable females have shed yet. My 4 ' amel female has been placed with my 4' antioch male twice now. Both times she shied away from him. I'm going to wait until she sheds before I try that pairing again.
Just now - I tried my female lavender hypo with a smaller redding locale male. She's big enough to eat him and has a very strong feeding response, but she made no attempt to do so. The young male tracked her around the tub but never made his move. I think he knew she could make a meal out of him because he was very wary of her head, but he sure did want to lick her with his toungue and follow her around the tub.
It's getting late and those two I don't want to leave alone together overnight, so I put her back in her tub - and may try again in a few days, if she hasn't gone into shed yet.
