1st ever breeding

This is my first ever breeding, i know we are out of the mating "season" but my girl has refused food for 2 weeks so i threw my male in with her. One hour later i go to check on them and this is how they are. I went to work and came back, its been 9 hours and still going strong.

Anyone have experiences of breeding late into the summer and early into the fall?

Could she have been refusing food because of the shedding process?

possibly, but i thought what the heck could it hurt.

im on the same page with nicktreb. I notice shedding in the tub. but congratssssssssssssssss! i know to see YOUR OWN snakes lock up and not on youtube or other people pics has you mighty excited! keep us posted! good luck and FYI some breeders breed all year round. i guess once you threw the pastel male in he had no other choice..... right after a shed? i think he was smelling hormones in the air. :gj: what is the females weight?

shes right at 1900g. And hes around 700g.

Big grats:)
