do I continue to put the male in, or no?

tombarnhart Feb 20, 2009 02:04 PM

No. She is good to go at this point. No further breeding necessay if it was ovulation.

Just wow....

how long have you been rotating males through her tub since this ovulation? i know every snake is different, i was just wondering about yours?

I started putting my 100% hetpied male in with my 2000 gram normal female Nov. 1st. I think I will start in Oct this year. I am keeping the females and breeding them back to the male. Hopefully in 2 years I'll have Pieds. I am poor..lol, I can't even afford a 100% het pied female as they are never below 500 beans...you know? If I make all males, then I will probably just spend the dough on a het female.
