Pairing while in shed??

Should snakes not be paired while in shed?


Thanks

There's no point in putting an opaque male in with a female, so don't bother with that--but the male won't care if the female is opaque. There's a wonderful window right after the female sheds where her pheromones are through the roof, so you'll get great locks if the male is in with her when she sheds. I've found males locked with opaque females as well.

I'm going to avoid it. But, I understand your concern. My fire female is in the blue right now and I really want to pair her up now. I'll give her time to shed properly.
Here comes breeding season!!!

I breed snakes in shed all the time. It also helps to leave a recent shed in tub when pairing as well as it contains lots of pheromones.
