someone's in a hurry to breed

I had my pair of '03 bloodred's in a split 20 long tank. Well, aparently they grew on me, and can now climb up the board splitting them and he's managed to get between the screen and the board in the one tiny spot that's just flexible enough to let him through.

Surprized me yesterday when I looked into her side and saw two heads! haha, so I seperated them, it looked like he had just dropped in, because he was on top of the paper towels, and only her head was. (sort of looked like she was saying "what is HE doing in here" He stayed on his own side til after I went to bed, but this morning, they were together under her paper towels. Luckily I got my wood burning tool in the mail today, and quickly put holes in two of my plastic boxes and moved them into their own boxes. No more surprize visits! But I just want to be sure here. They are only about 6 or 7 months old, you don't think he could have done the deed already?? I sure hope not, they're my only bloods, and she's obviously too small at this age to be laying any eggs.

You use paper towels as a substrate? If so, shouldn't be too hard to take a good look through the towels and under them. Your looking for a "Goober" kind of a nasty looking yellowish GOOBER. (Yes, thats the best I can describe it) If you don't find that, then your girl is probably still "Chaste" or at the very least, he's not shooting any firepower!

yeah i use paper towels for the youngsters and breeding cages. I looked, and there's some stuff, but it's typical snake poo, so I think maybe he just bothered the "ship" out of her

I do remember what the "after-goo" looked like last year with my snow and okee, so I think I'm safe with these two. Maybe he was just lonely
