I did and will post themeasurements in the other thread;)
They are back in thier enclosures and on normal temperature since Christmas.
I´ve fed them three times before I put this female to the males.
The photo was taken half an hour after thier meeting

I've seen a lot of courtship activity from my marcianus, but I've not seen them actually mate. We can only hope!:D

Oh, so that's normal? :D It looked pretty nasty in my terrarium after my snakes had mated (paper towels as substrate).

Wow...do they really bleed when mating :O

I know guys (male snakes...) can be dragged around by their hemipenisses...but this...ouch...

Dogs do the same thing... yes, there is a reason the females are properly called bitches... LOL!:eek:

Well, at least there were tiny tiny red dots all over the paper towels afterwards. Lets see if I can find a picture.. Nope.

I had to go back to this thread to remember when I´ve seen the first mating.
When I count the days, I end up someday next week for the first birthdays.
