I have a problem with my Goini this season. I have 2 males and one female. The problem is which should I use male 1 or 2. Male one is a striped male that is a year younger than the female and last year she was not in the mood to breed with him cuz at 18 months she thought he was a little small. She tried to eat him instead. He was around 30" and she was around 40". This year he caught up some and is around 40" and she is close to 4'. The queastion is after the first breeding attempt he was scared of her all last season and I soon gave up trying. Will he still be scared this season??
Because of my problem last year I tried to get a male breeder for last year and when I finally found one it was too late in the year. I still picked him up and have him. He is a patternless goini that is also around 40". I sold him to a friend and got him back in the meantime and when I got him back he was thin. I know Goini put on weight quick so this should not be a problem but he is scared of the female as well.
I have probed all snakes involved and am as sure as I can be that I have a 2.1 group. I also think that this year I should have no problem with which ever male I choose provided that they are introduced at the right time. I just don't know which one to use. So I thought I would let the forum decide. And I don't want to use both males because I don't want mix genetics. The female is a reverse stripe and I just don't know what I may get with the stripped male over the patternless male. So any thoughts will be enjoyed and they might be helpful as well. Fire away boys.
Thanks Jason

First Pic Female

Here is choice one

Here is choice 2

Holy Crap the pics came out huge. Did something change or did I do something different? I have not posted pics in about three months is there something different or is it me.
Thanks Jason

Gorgeous snakes all the way around. My personal taste in snakes is these kind of natural, "drab" colored beasts! I'll never own an albino or fancy designer snake, they're beautiful, just not what I am looking for. Even my corn is just a normal South Carolina locale.

Personally, if I were to look for a Goini, I'd ask for the most aberant patterned snake possible. I really like the blotchy ones, but all are good!

As far as sexing them goes ... maybe this will help your confidence. This new male I have has a MUCH longer and broader tale than my female. It's a very distinct difference. Female's tale tapers almost immediately and is shorter altogether, whereas the male's stays broad and is much longer. Alright, it's 5am, gotta hit the sack.

Great looking snakes. The variation in kings from that area is amazing. Good luck with your project!
