They look happy enough together.

Is that your first male then Paul ? The big spirited one ?

Fingers crossed you get a reaction from them. If not soon then maybe swap the males over, even if only for a little bit so the big one then gets a scent of the other male when he goes back in. Might trigger him to sow his oats.

Swapped my younger female in with smokey now, hes got a bit of an idea as well, fingers crossed one of the males will service her. If the little one hasn't already, never seen them but hes been thinking of it.

Nice!

Your male has a nice big head! I¡¦m still wondering if I have a couple. The female probed 2 scales, but the size of the animals and heads are totally the same. I tried to probe the male again, but he let all his [bleep] go, and that was quit a lot. My girlfriend was not so happy about it so I decided to put him back. I will try later again.
The colors of your couple are exactly the same as mine. Are you sure these are your animals? ļ
How is the feeding going with both of them in the same cage?

Good luck with them. You can put me on the list for real European CB Coachwhips!

Hi guys
Yes Mike this is my large male bought from wharf...he's the biggest coachwhip I've seen to date.He's very powerful and can deliver a real nasty bite!!!...he seems to be very happy with her.If there's no obvious signs in a week or so I'll try the red male.
Gillian,yes his head is very noticably longer than Mike's female.
Its quite easy to feed these together...firstly the female will
snatch a mouse out of the tongues,while she is swallowing it just wave another mouse in front of the male ...he may take it or may not,he's far more lazy.Its just a matter knowing your snakes...but theres always the odd time when one does something unexpected...lol!
