Wow, that's really cool. 30 years!?!? That's absolutely amazing. Sounds promising. Thanks for the information.

Yeah, I realize that a female would likely go through more stress. I was just thinking about the risks involved, and any effects of simply meeting another snake for the first time. (Every so often, I have a nightmare about Xerxes encountering other snakes and fighting, getting injured, etc. Ugh...)

But again, on the other hand, without mating, he's likely burning up A LOT of calories staying on the move like he is. And I know he won't eat, so I won't try to feed him 'til he calms down a little. I don't overfeed him in the first place, so an interruption like this gets me nervous.
