June 2, 2011. Female had shed a day earlier. I took this photo about 9:00 PM. Female was feeding well on f/t chicks and rats. She's continued to feed every 4-5 days, at least 2 chicks and 2 rats each meal, and appears to be gravid. No more mating has been observed, but these snakes really prefer to stay in hide box. Who knows?
This pair and a second male added to the mix never get excited or change behavior when together. WC pair was acquired in November, 2010. Both males, Ben and Fathead, will soon be visiting the Paraguay group kept by the ECCM.
