ahahahah
i asked a couple of times if it was toooo late to bother with breeding. but i decided to just throw my adult male in with my adult female for the sheer hello of it...i let him in there for 3 or so days. and then removed him for feeding and resting...after a couple of nights i put him back with her....
i went in the snake room earlier to check on the little guy cause hes just finished shedding- needed to clean up after him...
and i looked in on the lovers and their tails looked like there was some penetration going on....
i left the room and went back in there a few minutes later and they were LOCKED!
pics below because im a dork and i got allll excited...

This is some funny stuff.

They can stay locked up for a day up to about 36 hrs , usually I see them in the same position for about 12-16 hrs but they can go longer. The advantage of having hemipenes over just a single "unit" I guess, LOL!

Looks like your "Hooked" now, no pun intended!
Best your other half watch the checkbook for you, this is how it all starts!

Sometimes even that doesn't work.

Ain't a damn person in here who hasn't got excited over a lock and got shutter happy.

Congrats on your first lock. It will now become a disease...
