    Should I be worried?

    I took Azule out of brumation 10 days ago, and Penny came out 2 days ago. So far I have not seen any significant action, Azule doesn't seem too interested in Penny. Does it sometimes take awhile for them to get busy? With all the threads about others' snakes breeding right away I'm wondering if mine have a problem....

    Now, granted, I'm not watching them 24/7, so maybe I've missed the action. Any insight would be appreciated.

    They were at about 60F for 2-3 weeks, then they were at 45F (Azule for 6 weeks and Penny for 7 weeks).

    Thanks, I was wondering if I might just miss it.

    Re: Should I be worried?

    Ok, I may have worried prematurely...I may be seeing a bit of courtship behavior. They have been more active in general today, so maybe they just needed more time. I can hope, at least.

    Penny ate 2 fuzzies today, but Azule still has not eaten since coming out of brumation. I'll have to see if I can get him eating soon.

    some of my males took weeks to eat after brumation
    all of them took more than a week and much longer than the females

    Thanks Rhea, it's good to know that Azule is not being too unusual.

    Two of my females and one male just started eating yesterday. They had been out of the chill for almost 3 weeks. I still have 2 female holdouts.
