Welp they are cooled of and ready to breed, so i put my adult pastel male in and he did nothing......threw him in for two days each with 3 different females and nothing. So i thrw my adult male het ghost in there and right away he locked up and has been for 3 days now. Whats the deal with this pastel. You think he might eb gay? hehe no but seriously. He is 1300 grams 3 year old very healthy, just does not want to do the job, but my other male is going to town. Any suggestions?

RDR mentioned something about getting sperm plugs and rubbing them on the males and females back. Go to his website and look around and read about it.

My snakes aren't fat, they're big boned.

I heard you should smear the sperm by the females cloaca.

Patience is a virtue.

You can't have been putting them together for that long...

A fresh shed from another male can help sometimes. You can also put the pastel with another male breifly and allow them to have a pushing match for a while. Keep an eye on them during this time !!! Remove the pastel and pair with a female , Sometimes the competition will get a slow started motivation.

You've received some great suggestions. Have you also double checked to make sure your male is a male? I bought a male pastel several years ago and named him "Arthur". Well, "Arthurettte" laid an 8 egg clutch this past season.

Put both you males in with the one female. Keep an eye on them. This may make you male want to breed.
