    LOL...congrats Rhea. Yeh, it was the same with my L.m.thayeri, I was all worried about doing things just right and as soon as they were together they went at it. Here's to some nice babies come spring then.

    thanks
    I do hope they're not just "getting friendly"
    does that ever happen?
    I mean, it looks like she kind of likes him too - she's not slithering away or eating him
    so I would assume they're going to progress to the "dragging around the viv" stage
    or maybe she's not the dragging type and it already happened?

    I don't think they really like each other, the female just puts up with it. Here, the female would sometimes dash across the terrarium whipping her tail when it became too annoying. The mating itself takes about 15 minutes, it's easy to miss.

    I didn't mean "like" in the sense it's used among humans (mental)
    she does seem to be a little friendlier than just putting up with him
    when she comes back from the water bowl she smells him and rubs her chin on his neck before she settles down

    Re: shacking up

    this morning when the light went on and Sammy came out to bask, she looked awfully fat
    I said "look at how fat she is"
    Mikhaila said "she's pregnant!"
    I said "that wouldn't show just yet, but maybe she ate boyfriend"
    she really does look that fat, but thankfully he showed up
    she looks like she is headed into shed
