GA Eastern Kings Breeding...

MikeFedzen Jun 01, 2007 11:07 PM

Or attempting to, I should say.

The male is about 44"... Female is around 34".. And it seems like she agrees with me that she shouldn't breed this year. She is resisting like crazy. He seems more than ready. He grabbed her near the neck, and tries to mate. But she isn't having it.

Couple bad pics. Second pic is showing a comparison of their bands.

Mike,

Congrats... I remember when you bought those - from Will Still, right?

If he is going after her that is half the battle and she will give in eventually (no really means yes in this situation!).

Good luck!

Hey Peter,

I got the male from Will Still, got the female from someone else.

I don't know if they bred or not... But 13 hours after putting them together he was still chasing her, just not as much. And he wasn't trying to hook up.

I guess I can only hope they bred.

Very nice!
I hope they breed!
I have a 04' GA. Eastern that is only about 35" - 36" long, but she bred anyway. She currently has about six lumps and is looking very fat. So we'll see....
