Just wanted to thank everone for all your good advice... Here are some pictures I took this morning Feb-16-2004.

(1). My male albino breeding a 2300g VPI HET Albino Female. This is the 2nd time he has bred this female.

The same pair aprox 1 month ago.

Here is my male HET albino from VPI. He is breeding a CLARK 2100g HET Albino. This female was bred once by my male albino. I really hated to use the HET male instead of the male albino, but as you can see the male albino is busy and I AM GETTING desperate.

Here the same CLARK HET female aprox 1 month ago, again her first breeding with the male albino.

The same snakes again but a closeup

And just for the heck of it, here is that possible HET albino female, that the male albino bred 4 times, this photo was of there first breeding.

Your female (the one breeding the albino male) is nice and plump! Here's some advice that works oh so well for me and some others to whom I've suggested. First of all, try to cover the ventilation on your rack (the "open air" of the Freedom Breeders are a bad idea in my opinion). Thoroughly mist the cage with warm water (don't shock 'em with 65F water in other words). I've found that this works like a charm in inducing breeding behavior. They are locked up sooner and longer. And others with no luck in getting their pythons to start breeding suddently witness copulation once this is done.

I found some thin insulation board that I use to cover the screen top of my freedom breeder. It works really well to keep the temps and humidity up. Just an idea.

I heat the room to 80 at all TIMES and humidify the room to 60%-70% with warm air humidifiers.

If I didnt do this I would have serious shed problems, and prob resp problems, esp since I use aspen bedding.

I know I am ruining the spare bedroom snake room, but what can I do. The snakes are more important

works better in the low 70's.........some even do high 60's...

Never had minein the high 60's. Low 70's at best. Did you see Mark's post? I found it interesting. Check out the link.
