I plan on breeding two snakes from the same clutch, next season. They were too small to breed this year so i plan on cooling them together and trying next year. I would like to have my male breed to a different female also. How can I get my male to bond with both females? Thanks!

You can just raise them together.

I use the long CB70 tubs for adults. I have 1.2 in most of them.

I think I will do that with the offspring I hope to get.I'm not ready to feed my breeders together now though....accidents do happen and I don't want to gamble if I don't have to. I've got those tubs now and my pair I'm trying to breed are in one of them. The others are in the sweaterbox tubs and I got shoebox tubs for the hatchlings to be. I can really utilize my racks if I keep bonded pairs or trios in them and from my observations with the pair I've kept together since mid-january, they do spend a huge amount of time laying on top of each other or besides each other. They must want to be together or they would be apart. The tubs they are in are definitely roomy enough for both of them.

The good the bad and the ugly(movie title) The first part of your reply is clutter, your "concerns" are rationalizations that have nothing to do with the snakes. Sorry don't yell at me. You are using false reasons to make real decisions.

Of course they are not false to you, but they are to us. Because we know what works and what doesn't.
If your interested, keep talking about it until you have a basic handle on it. They try stuff a little at a time. No one expects you or anyone else to JUMP to the level Bluerosy is or Will or I, we all have been doing it a while.

So start slowly. If you have adults, play with them. That is, place two together and watch them. If they get along, great. do that a few times, but keep them as they are now. Then this winter, place them in brumation together and then leave that together as they warm up. Do one pair and learn, then proceed.

Again, I get the feeling folks think in a very unnatural way, All or nothing, A or Z. stop that. Sneak up to it, a little at a time. No one is asking or expects anyone to put all their eggs in one basket. Heck be human, keep the ones you like the least together, that's normal you know. Then work from there. Best wishes
