    Re: Shedding..locking?

    seems like they need more time to breed. If you haven't started warming them up its very likely that they wont feed. And if you do warm them up gravid or not it may take time before they feed. Good luck, just cycle them and offer them food with care.

    Keep putting the males in there until they refuse them a few times in a row. It's still early. Last year, I didn't have any eggs until April, and this year it's looking like it may be the same.

The snake now lost much weight but is very active and nothing changed outside the humidity level which I taping holes up to get back up again. The snake in question still not eating and I gotten the humidity back above 50 % ( for a week now) the snake I think is just wantting some attenetion from the op sex lol. and I limited my breedign to the 3 posibble gravid I got this teay until I know more about getting my self set up with everything.
