Hey.
what should I expect from my (hopefully) breeding pair when they both go in to shed? I konw that some other snakes a more likely to copulate after shed. so is this shed a good or a bad thing?

best regards

I could not find my records from last year to go over, but I recall seeing mine breed more after the female shed. Mine did not shed at their regular intervals, it was almost twice as long between sheds. The shed cycle was also longer, especially for the female after possibly seeing ovulation.

When my male brazilian went in shed he didnt breed the whole time from when he started till he shedded. The day after he shed his skin he was back right on the female breeding again.
