    When to start pairing??

    Hey all, this might be a dumb question but when should I start pairing my male and female? And should I buy a bigger tub for them to ''do their thing'' or can I just stick the boy with the girl or vice versa?

    Generally people pair from f all-in yet but it can be done all year round. The male is usually put in the females tub. Just use the females normal tub.

    You can breed anytime. Just make sure the female is at least 1,500 grams and the male 500 grams and that they get breaks (good time to feed).

    You can breed year round the most important is to use the weather at your advantage (pair during low pressure), and check females for follicular development.

    Breeding is about getting close so you do not want to put them in an even bigger tub, simply place the male in the female's tub.

    Alright thank you. Is it true that the snakes get a little more antsy when it rains?
