question.........

What is the longest copulation you have experienced (in breeding BP's)??

I have a pair that are going on day three of locking up.

They could be separating and relocking in between my checking, but I have never seen anything this long before.

Usually in a day or so they are done.

My first ever pairing resulted in 3 straight days of copulation.
Just yesterday he decided to go to the top of her hide,and bask all day.
So i took him out and fed him,he ate.

So far ...so good.

I usually see between 20-30 hours, then when they're done the poor males comes out like cooked spaghetti all worn out.

Wow Boaboy a week, how old is the male???

My breeding males are all between 2-5 years old, but they all last about the same time.
