Poop in tub?

[f22raptor95]

I've heard mixed things such as poop in the tub may entice them to breed? I have a clown in with a bumblebee right now and they haven't locked yet (2 days together so far). I checked today and they both pooped in the tub, should I leave it for a little or clean it immediately?

I've never had a pair of courting snakes suddenly lose interest in each other after I cleaned them out. If they are actually locked I might put it off for a few hours but that's about as long as I can stand letting them stew in their poo.

Something tells me you're checking them 24\7,so what difference would it make.

Just because you haven't witnessed them lock, doesn't mean they haven't. Leaving poop in their enclosure wont help them at all. If they are not locked, I recommend you scoop it out. Also, checking on them every 8-12 hours wont hurt anything but constantly opening the cage will most likely stress them out and there will be no lock.

Other Males fresh shed, OR Put 2 males in (they wont fight, but 1 will take more intrest) Unless you 100% wanting just that male to be father, try for a fresh shed
