While I had my tegs in the bath the other day I noticed that the males hemipenes were distended (which sometimes happens when he deaficates)... when I picked him up to remove him he secreted two 'packets' in the bath about 3 inch long and white / opaque - I can only assume that these were sperm sacs ?
Has anyone else seen this at all?
In addition my female with whom he is housed has a bloody great bite mark on her back just above her back legs - it happened about a two weeks ago and has healed up fine - but she now has a scar - hopefully this will subside as she conitnues to grow ...
Am I to assume that they may have bred? Is it common for males to bite females when trying to breed?
The male is about 42" and the female about 36" (but a small 36"
, its been a while since I measured them. The male is about 2 1/2 yeasr old, the female is a bit younger - possibly only 2 years.
I have not noticed any changes in behaviour but what should I be looking for if indeed they have bred ? Is breeding often unsuccessful - what will happen if the female is unreceptive to the male ?
I am building a new enclosure at the weekend - should I keep them together?
Sorry for the long post
