My female African House Snake is gravid for the fifth time since December. Her last clutch is still in the incubator. I just changed their cage bedding and while they were in a deli cup they were at it again!!!! My male even mounts her while she's gravid. Do you think I should seperate them and give her a break after this clutch? Thanks.

I would defenetly seperate them. It sound a bit rough on the "little" girl!!! Give her a break for a couple of months!!!

Prolific little gems they are!
I have witnessed a pair copulating in the bag they were imported in.
I'd have to agree with the previous advice you incurred; seperate those two for a spell.

Know the feeling. My red female is cooking a batch...

Yea my pygmy rattlesnakes were at it again in the past few days. As were my king/corn pair and my ball pythons. Can't wait to figure out how the incubator will hold all these this time!
