the first ever breeding of balls for me!!!!!
I'm not sure were the hip is on a snake??
Is it just below the beltline??
just kidding
If they are joined at their cloacas then they are not done yet.
leave them alone.
clean after they seperate on their own.
That is if you are trying to breed them.

no she is on the pill,just getting him some love. (joking)
yes i'm feeling very lucky to breed 100%hets for my first breedings...i have only breed bearded dragons ,and i have hatched one leopard ,and 11 bk rat snake eggs for a friend.
Sorry I wasn't trying to be a wise a$$.
well, not totally at least.
I have some very, lets say "eager" males, and they will try to lock up with females any time, anywhere.
So, I wasn't sure if you just temporarily housed them and they locked up, or if you were actually breeding them.
Good luck I hope all works out for you.
TomChambers
If they're locked on, don't mess with them... just leave them alone. They could stay locked on for a few hours or up to 24 hours or more. Just wait until they're done before you move them. Once they break off on their own, you can separate them..... wait a few days or a week or however long then put them back together for round two. Best of luck!
Eric
round two!!! thanks you have helped.

I already have a homozygous "invisball". It's actually quite neat you see because it is visible and looks exact like a normal.
But when I breed to to my invisible girls
I get all invisible offspring, invisible eggs and all!

I have invisiballs het for every recessive morph on the market if you care to purchase any.
