After a years worth of learning caring,making this mistake an that mistake,I finally decided to take the next step!I fed my abberant female 4 small rats the day before an fed my high pink make 2 small rats an turned the incadesent light out last night an left it out!I interduced him too her at this point also!Their temps are in the low 80's during the day,an in the mid to upper 70's at night!It hasnt even been 24 hrs yet an he has already started courting her,I havent witnessed any copulation,but theirs been a few times his tail popped up in the air an curled up like a candy cane an I witnessed a back an forth motion with him!I am keeping them misted very well as advised!An I know to remove him an offer him food every other week!Am I missing anything?I am very excited about this breeding with her!All I can do is keep my fingers crossed!This is an unrelated breeding with a none abberant,very,very high pink male,who also has a solid pink an white belly with no speckling whatsoever on his belly!My goal with this breeding for argument sake is to see if this abberancey is co-dom or not!Well everyone keep their fingers crossed an any information that might be helpfull in this breeding,would be greatly appriciated!Thanks[Hypoboa] {E&C's Exotic House of Boa's}

They were going at it all morning!An I misted them down really good an well his tail is still wrapped around her,but it seems like their is no movement now,I have news paper up around the tank so they are not bothered,But with a humidity problem in my area I have no choice but too mist,The best humidity level I get without spraying is only 45% an thats not good!Did I desturb them with the heavy misting or are they just taking a break?Thanks for the input Kenneth!Thanks Hypoboa

I would say there takeing a Break.If they were going at it all Morning.There getting rested up for round Two !Just be careful on the misting so there substrate does'nt stay saturated.I'd say there OK just let them do there thing and disturb as little as posible,but keep an eye on them in case the Female decides she does'nt like him,but everything sound's Good !
