Ok so I decided to breed my 3 year old couple BRB this year. They have been cycled for the last couple months and have been introduced since around 2 weeks.

I saw no breeding activity so far. Is it normal for them to fail in the first year?

It does happen, I had a pair of 2.5 year old BRB's together last year - nothing, same pair this year and have seen visual copulation so clearly something is happening there. How heavy is your female?

0.1 Wife (WC and still very fiesty)
0.2 kids (CBB, a big part of our selective breeding program)

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count (02/01/2010):
42.61 BRB
27.40 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

Clearly the one in the pic is unfertile, you can send it here and I will find it a good home.

Gorgeous BRB!!!

Those rainbows are CBB but their parents came from a very remote region here in Brazil, in north of Mato Grosso. The more often seen rainbows are not that red.

The female is in the 2 kilogram range and the male is around 1,5 kilogram.

First, double check the sexes! Second, just because you didn't see them copulate, doesn't mean they didn't! Especially if you've got a hide box fpr both to fit!
