" alt="Wish me luck. This is my first time breeding snake">

sorry, newbie posting pics...

another shot...

one more.

congrats! and good luck. this year is my first time too and so far so good.

Congrats!

I've not yet had any copulation.
A male I sent on loan did copulate.

My 4' male Cal King really tried to copulate with the 4' amel Cal King he mated with last year, but she wouldn't let him. She's just starting to go into blue now.

I tried my 3' lavender female with two ~ 30" males - one followed her around but was afraid of her (didn't want anything to do with her head) - I'm going to try him with a similar sized female that just shed, but I just fed her two mice and I think I'm going to feed her once more before I try. The shed from the similar sized female is in his tub right now - hopefully it will incite him to want to to mate.

The other ~ 30" male tried his best - he had the love bite thing going, but being his first season, he was rather clumsy and was not able to get his vent properly lined up. That female is just about to shed for her first time - her eyes went blue and have since cleared up, so she'll be shedding any day now. Her shed when it happens will go in his tub, and I'll feed her once after shed before introducing her to him for a second try.

Congrats, make sure you take reallllll good care of the eggs - build a nice container for her to lay them in, keep the humidity up high but not wet.
