go ahead - try it at home

[drache]

last year I put my snakes in brumation in gender tanks and then introduced them to their partners in spring
at the time my parietalis male just ended up hiding from the females
since my vet mentioned three times (at least) that they tend to mate in fall - his words: "three weeks after the male goes off feed, I put them together and - boom!"
so I thought - what the heck, I'll just put them out there in pairs - a little more space and labour intensive, but if it increases breeding success . . .
so that's what I did yesterday - moved several tanks into the sunporch, with all that that entails
and a mere hour later I can say that apparently the parietalis male is no longer scared of the big girl



their size difference still astounds me

Is the female receptive? They are very pretty!!!

Neat!
I hope it produces the desired results for you, Rhea.
They are a very attractive couple.

[Garter_Gertie]

I can't believe the size difference either. YIKES!

Yeah, good luck, Rhea! May you be blessed with lots of babies!

she hasn't eaten him and he's not scared of her - that's a good start

WOW Thats a big girl!!! Very pretty snakes. That little guy looks like the same size as my Swiper

[crzy_kevo]

how big is that girl she is at least 3 times the girth of that boy but how long is she wow

plus they are very pretty snakes close to same coloration should produce nice babies

[drache]

both of them have nice clear reds
I think she must be close to 3' now

Good luck. That is a nice looking pair of reds. Hope mine color up half that well.
