what to do??

Hey.
once agian I turn to this forum for answers.
I put my brb pair together for about a week and a half ago, a few days after putting them together I started raising the temp. the temp. has now been up to normal for 3 days and I haven't seen any copulation, the are very active at evening and nights and they do spend a lot of time togehter during the day in their hides. but at night when the a the most active it doesn't seems like they got very big interest towards each other. now to the questions:
1:
should I mist more? and should I provide them with their "bathtub" agian?
2:
should I feed them now the heat is back up? (I have heard that this sometimes does the trick)
3:
should I try to remove the male for a few days? (if yes when a for how long a time)

Hope this isn't to big a bit.

best regards
Dan Binderup

Dan,
. I would experiment trying all of the things you mention. If they are mature something might get them interested. How old and how large are they?

Hey everyone!
Now I now it isn't that long time ago I posted last (about 5 min.) but after my last post I went out and clean the brb cage and I thought I would take a sneak peak I the hide where both snake were hiding. I used a mirror to look, and what did I see?? tailwrapping! the males tali were wraped around the females tail, I couldn't see if the hemipenis were actually in the female but I guess so. what do you guys think? It sure looked like the "opening" were pressing towards each other!
now for the new question:
what should I do now?
should I just not do anything or should I go ahead and feed them?

best regards (from a happy man)
